Wyde Glyde, the new RK fender is 8.5 wide. I had the front of the Bob rear fender grafted to the RK. The RK fender idea came from man4mopar. Check some of his threads. And I have some pics in my album.
imadunatic, I don't know about Jackyl, but it would be great to have solid mounts for passenger pegs/boards. I don't know why Harley would swingarm mount them. Not one of their better ideas.
I'll try to take pictures today after work to show how I got the RK bags on the FL mounts.

Here's some pics of early Shovelhead brackets and how I am temporarily mounting the RK bags.
I would like to remove most of the inside plastic and make it flat sided. That would simplify the mounting and make the bags roomier.
Anyone know the best glue to use for that project?

Very nice love those hard bags on a dyna :-). Marking this so I can find it easy when I get home on the desktop . I'd am very interested in your hitch and would like to see some close up pictures of it.

Howdy, long time lurker, SECOND time poster.
I know this subject has been beat to death, but I've been researching adding touring bags to a Dyna and the concensus seems to be that it can't be done without modification to the bags. So I built a set of templates off my neighbors Road King and decided that it would be fairly asthetically pleasing without cutting a hole for the shock (I also have a hitch on my Dyna, bags almost follow it exactly).
Fast forward to today, I now have a set of bags off a 2003 Road King Police (seems fitting that I ride a FXDP), a set of brackets off a 2009 Road King (serious ebay score), and a plan to cut, weld, machine, fab (I'm a toolmaker by trade)-whatever is needed- to anchor the front of the brackets to the passenger foot peg area (this is a 2001 FXDP, pegs are attached to frame, not swingarm).
Before I start this excellent adventure, I wanted to make sure that I hadn't missed someone else's post on actually doing this and maybe mooching some of the intricacies off of them. If not, I'll figure it out, take as many pics as I can and maybe help someone else out.
Any thoughts besides "you're the millionith guy to think you can do it, good luck"?

There is also a frame mount point just above the rear foot pegs that can be used as well as doing what Cyclevisions has done making up a plate that bolts under the seat to provide a mounting point in front of the shock. They also make a cross support for the rear to keep the bags from bowing in when full.
