Open the top & look inside. There should be some turning mechanisms (2) mounted on the sides along the fender support bracket.

RE: Saddle Bags?

If these are the bags you have, here's how the advertisement for them reads on the H-D website:

Detachable Leather Saddlebags for DynaÂ® Models

These large capacity Detachable Saddlebags are completely removable with the simple pull of the internal handle, leaving your bike clean and ready to cruise the boulevard. The handsome leather bags feature hidden quick-release clips behind the traditional strap and buckle. When removed, the large capacity bags leave behind two simple inconspicuous docking points. The bags are compatible with both rigid and detachable accessories when installed with the appropriate docking hardware kits. Luggage capacity: 1200 cubic inches.

It sounds like there must be a handle or turnkey inside the bags...
