Default FXDB Hardbag Mounting

Has anybody ever mounted hardbags on their Street Bob? I currently run soft bags and would like to run Harley Hardbags but haven’t found any mounting brackets available.

I have hard bags on my 09 FXD,, and they have holes that line up with the strut fender mount bolts and use those. There is no bracket.

While I do not have them on the bike now, I did have some old school HD hardbags on my StreetBob for a while. I went with ghost brackets. It was an easy conversion, minimal effort and they were removable. I sold them, and am now running a set of Boss Bags instead..

I guess mine aren't "hard bags" they're called "rigid mount" and are a slightly older version of these current bags;

They are a PVC tub
Installation instructions; Although I found I didn't need the supplied "spacers" and used a few common washers instead to keep the bags a little closer to the strut and frame.

Other option is the Cyclevisions Bagger tail setup. Pretty neat and slick solution i think.

You can try the setup at Twisted Throttle. I'm using the racks to hold the Urban ABS cases. Those may or may not work depending on your exhaust set up.
