Default saddle bags

Well it has been a long time since i have had a bike with saddle bags, but I ordered some for my superglide. Considered doing some hard bags but in the end went with some throw over leather bags.

Went with Fox Creek Leather low rider bags.
I will put up a picture when they arrive.

They look good. I like the slanted hard bags to match the flow and slant with the shocks. Harley wants nearly 1400 for hard bags and I can't justify paying it. They and not slanted like a trapezoid. They need to have more hard bag options for Dynas. Why mess up a good design like the old flh. They should have made it to fit snuggly on dynas like the superglde or lowrider.

Are they soft, sturdy? do they have plastic inserts to keep shape?

is has plastic under the leather on the tire side (it seems thickest here), the front, back, and bottom.

there is no plastic soppurt on the side that faces out or the flap, however the flap is two pieces doubled up, so I believe it will hold its shape well.

the leather is really good

so these bags maintain the turn signals? do they require a support mounted to the struts.
