Default Hard Bags

Anyone know which bags are pictured and how and where I can get them? Are they old FXR bags? Are they easily mounted?

Thanks!

They are called clam shell bags because of the way they open and there were some originals on ebay that are quite expensive. Some repros also which are expensive also.

Thanks!


those are Big Bear Choppers slimline clamshell saddlebags for dyna.
they are a take on the FXRT clamshell hard bags only these bags are much slimmer.

Do you research on Big Bear Choppers before you buy anything from them.

I recognize the picture from instagram hahah, belongs to this guy: https://www.instagram.com/one_wheel_drew/

A forum member recently had a bad experience buying from Big Bear Choppers, his writeup is here:
https://www.hdforums.com/forum/dyna-...l#post16670632

YMMV. Personally, I wouldn't purchase from them unless they were doing the build, so I would know they were going to do it right because they want to pimp it out for social media and youtube attention.

I have no firsthand experience with this company, just know what I read on here. But +1 on researching their past, and you can come to your own conclusions.
