I just finished putting a set of hard saddle bags on a 98' FXD.

 

what bags are those?

 

Have you looked at the tour pack helmet boxes on ebay yet? I've been thinking about adding one of those to my FXDC

 

No I haven't looked at a helmet box. This as far as I want to go. I was using leather throw over bag for a few years and finally got tired of them. I mounted these hardbags a few years ago but they were just quickly mounted and removed after a few weeks. This time I spent the time to tuck the mounting flange up behind the fender bracket and and give them a tight fit against the frame. I also fitted the turn signals and hardwired them in. I've seen others mount HD hardbags on a Dyna and for me they just over power the bike. When you stand back these fit proportional and don't look like a steamer chest hanging off the side. They hold enough stuff for a day trip; rain gear, food, tools, couple 6 packs, etc., just enough storage space.

 

I think they look good.

 

Looks real good. I dig the way you mounted the turn signals, was that your idea or can you get some kind of kit? Very smooth looking.
Who makes the bags?

 

tscreener,what bags you got on,i can tell theyre saddlemen but what kind,size?look good!

 

I installed the HardStreet Slim Bags on my 2009 FXD. You see them in my sig. As you can see have also installed at Tour Pack.

Yes Hard bags look good on a dyna
