Default Big throw overs
What are the biggest throw over saddle bags you can get on a Dyna without moving the signals, which to me would defeat the purpose of a Throw-over. Are you limited by the distance between the shock and the turn signal or does that not matter because the bag doesn't really sit there.I'm seeing allot on Ebay that are 12" long 9" tall and 4-5" thick.That's pretty much what I had before but it seems like you should be able to go bigger.

9 1/2" tall x 12" wide slant bags are the biggest you can get without relocating the turn signals. You gotta get the slants because of the shocks.

Yeah, you need slants to utilize as much space as possible. I run these as seen in my sig pick. A heck of alot of room. I was pretty supprised. Pretty cheap money for a very stout and sturdy. 14L X 7.25W X 12.25H inches
