Default Wide Glide Lover getting started

I'm thrilled to report that I'm adding a 2012 Wide Glide to my stable. I use the Kriega Drypack for luggage which uses a loop fastened under the rrear seat as you slide a metal tab into the loop to strap it down. I'm hoping there's a way to add this loop under the pillion, as I do on all my bikes. The bag straps onto the seat and when you don't want it, you only have the tiny loop hanging out from under the seat whrere it gets attached to a frame somewhere. And advice would be great.

Kriega has some great gear, Y'all.

The Wide Glide is the finest bike HD builds, nothing else need apply. Thanks for the commercial but if that's all you do to your bike you're truly missing out on what a Wide Glide can actually become

I don't know anything about that bag hardware, but you should be able find somewhere to anchor it.

Wide Glides are cool because so few people ride them. Stretch out and enjoy the wind on your chest!

Good evening mate

I have a WG and use Kriega gear. It took some searching, as for the life of me I could not remember where I bought this kit! But here it is
http://www.kuryakyn.com/products/724...g-mounting-kit

Had mine for 6 years. It fits like it was custom under the pillion seat and the D rings work great with the Kriega.

Ahhhh....I LOVE this forum already. Perfect! I love my UK gear which is like a hobby every time I use it! Real creative stuff and fun to play around assembling your **** every time you go out......better be alone though, because I screw around endlessly fiddling with my **** before I ride..LOL!

Thanks mate!
