Saddlebag Question for Dyna

I am planning a long trip in June and need some extra space (Bike is 2013 Super Glide). I don't want to relocate the turn signals and want to put on a set of saddlebags. Also not interested in spending a lot of money on them because they will rarely be used. When I get back they come off and go in the shop. The plan I have is to buy the Jafrum Saddlebag http://www.jafrum.com/Motorcycle-Lug...gs/SD2025Studs

and a set of the cheap brackets off of Ebay. Right now I am away from home and cannot go to my bike to measure and see if this will work. Finding the specs online of distance between shocks and turn signals has not been successful either. Has anybody here used this combination before and if not anything comparable in size? Thanks for any help.

Keep telling yourself that!

When I get home tonight I will try and get the info you need. I am currently doing some mod work to my bike and it is all accessible.

Sorry, I forgot, I don't have rear turn sigs anymore, but I can give you measurement from the shock to the rear bolt if you want.

the harley supports dont require moving the turn signals. they should work with most any throwover bags.

The ones I got measure 15 1/4" x 10" x 6 1/4". They fit very snugly in between the shocks and turn signals.

The Viking supports bolt only to the front strut bolts and won't affect the TS. Their about $30.

Do you have a part # for them? The ones I see have 2 mounting points, if those are the ones where does the other one mount?

I may have found them, are you talking about the "Single Point Mounting Bracket"?

I have a Saddleman sissybar bag that I always ride with and I can pack for 3 days or so in just it but want to take rain gear, bike cover, a little more tools than normal, extra clothes as well as a small laptop for this trip and no way will it all fit in the sissybar bag. Since I am not at home I am asking for help here. Again thanks
