Default Switchback saddle bags
After my wife rolled her bike a few years ago, she finally got herself a new one. a 2013 Switchback. Unfortunately it didnt have the saddlebags. I have tried to find switchback saddle bags but only come up with regular sized bags for the glides.
Does anyone know where I can get actual saddle bags made for the switchback?

Nothing wrong with leather saddlebags.

FLD Switchback hardbags are the "needle" and Touring hardbags are the "haystack"

Good luck

My wife had a 16 switchback and the bags suck. I would get some leather bags or try to fit 14 up touring bags on it.

Why are "crashable" parts for a model made as recently as 2016 already NLA ?

Went to check the price on new and you can`t get them

Ridiculous IMO

I don't know if this is still the case, but back in the late '70's automotive suppliers were required to provide parts support for only five years. Harley stopped selling it more than five years ago.
