'90 Elecrta Glide '94 up bag conversion?
Anyone know exactly what has to be done to a '93 - down EG to put '94 - up bags on? Or does anyone know of a thread here that will help?

The battery needs to be moved under the seat. You can use the battery box (66281-93A) used from 1993-96. If you don't also move the oil tank under the transmission, you will need to trim the box to fit using the oil tank and use a smaller battery (like the one used on a Sportster).
There is a thread here that talked about this.

Will a side cover from a '93 fit if the oil tank is relocated?

Be aware that relocating the battery involves changing the trans! I think Ultra is the only one of the HDF regulars who has gone to those lengths.

I have done it on my 1991 FLT. Use 93-96 under seat battery tray (trimmed about an inch or so on both sides), good quality late model Sportster battery, and shorten/reroute battery cables. Used velcro strap from Lowes to fasten battery to tray. Looks like factory installation and been using for one year with no problem.

I have just completed this mod on my 90 FLHS and did not have to change the trans or move the oil bag.

Same question. Did you change to the newer bags and side cover? If you didn't, is it in the plans?
