Default Just installed hardstreet slims.

ok. so I got rid of the old ironhead saddle bags and went with some hardstreet slims. so far they seem real nice. Maybe down the road I will get them painted. but great to have to carry stuff.

I went with the standard brackets that came with the bags. there not quik disconnect. But I never took the old bags off once I got them on. so I know these are perm. on the bike for now.

as always click 1080p high def

Looking at these bags for my Fat Bob. Is there enough slack in the turn signal wiring to move them to the license plate bracket, or will I need to get extensions or just by after market signals? Thanks for any info..

you could run the wires through a hole on the stock liscence plate hole. most extend there wire just a little bit though.

took it out for the first ride and they are great. no rattle noise.

Scoots looking real good. Love the handlebar setup! How much can you get in those bags? I know there slim but how slim? Been looking at getting them probably with a detachable setup.

Just wached the video, they look like they have plenty of room for what I need. Now my problem is worrying if I have the progressive 970's will they still fit?

that was my first thought, it would fit now (air shocks) but if I put the piggyback Ohlins on, nope, unless you flip the reservoir to the bottom.....maybe.

well. I have hd air shocks. they fit just fine. There is a shock cut out in the bags so there was plenty of room.

I did use spacers of the front of the bags so there would be slightly more room for passengers legs

I would bet if you got easy/edge brackets they will work. those brackets you can slide the bags tawards the rear a whole lot. I have seen pictures where the bags stick out farther then the fender. So there are options
