10-4 i will get yall some. The only compaint i have is there is some movement in the bags while riding. One of my winter projects is to stiffin up the universal brackets to make the movement stop. I love the LED teardrop lights, i also changed my rear bulb to LED and got a module off ebay that made all my lights on the rear running lights and when i hit the brake its makes them flash 3X. I will post some pics on here this evening when i get home.

By the time you add up the money required to make those work you may be better off with some of the factory stuff. I wanted hard bags too but ended up getting a great deal on the factory leather detachable ones. They do have a hard back with an internal frame so they keep their shape. I'm glad I went this way. I think they look great and the painted ones would have been all scratched up by now.

so i just placed a bid on some hard bags. they are old though. nice shape but i think they are off of a 1960's sprint.
they measure 19"L x 12" H x 5" W
so they are just narrower than other bags. hope i get them for $120 never been used and in original packing from 1960. been in this guys attic since then. (supposedly)
but they dont look like they were ever mounted.
do yo think these dimensions are to small? i think street glide bags are 7"w and 22" long?
