I have a 2010 super glide custom that I bought a set of cheep through over the fender saddle bags but with out the support bars the bags have rubbed on caliber and belt guard. But instead of buying or making supports I am thinking a set of hard bags would look better. I aint spending 400 on bags so I was looking at maybe these. I haven't found the conversion brackets yet but anybody tried these. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Top-Seller-Hard-Saddlebags-Trunk-w-Lid-Latch-Cover-Kit-for-Harley-Softail-Dyna-/301880224604?hash=item464976ab5c:gOkAAOSwB4NWzRM F&

Can't beat that price...but, sometimes you get what you pay for. They are not notched out for the shock so you'll have to either space them out quite a bit, or set them back behind the shock. Also, you're gonna need some brackets to fully support them. A couple other companies to consider (albeit more expensive) are Sumax and Tsukayu. Good luck!

 

I am aware I will need support brackets but aint found them yet and price is almost to hard to beat to try them. I am thinking by the measurements they may fit right behind shocks I am just not sure how steep angle is.

 

Those things are tiny! They look good though. Do you have tail lights that are attached to the fender strut?

 

No running the led license plate frame that has led brake and turns in it.

 

That's good. I don't think it would fit between the shock and the end of the strut.
Post photos once you get them mounted.

 

Have you looked at these? http://tsukayu.com/Strong.htm

 

Those cost about ten times as much.

 

Those are very small & narrow bags, not that it's a bad thing. They're about the same size as mine, and they're from the same Chinese manufacturer. IMO, you really can't beat them for the price. They look good and work great. But yeah, they are cheap. I wouldn't load them with a lot of weight. But for example, I split my tools in half and carry a tool bag on each side. I keep a quart of oil in one side and a quart of drinking water in the other. Heavy riding glove in one, leather vest in the other. Then bungees, flannel shirt, etc. spread among them. I'm able to carry everything I need.

I used these type mounts on a couple of bikes and they worked fine. You might shop for a better price, I just posted the first I found.

A couple pics to give you a better idea of their actual size.

 

I also am looking at these two I just think the first pair at my first post will flow better with the back fender. But both of these come with some brackets that I think I can make work. I really wish they gave more measurements to almost make a set out of cardboard to see how they fit. Anymore ideas or anybody tried any of these with pictures.
