Default New Bags

Found a set of leather saddlebags @ Rob's Used Harley Parts. Excellent condition. $300 shipped. Should be here Friday. Gonna put them on my 77 FXE... Can't wait....There for 88 up Dyna, all I have to do is make some mounts unless some one has some. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanx....

Or something like that made a nice write up about it.
I would say checkout tom84fxst but then you'll ask him to update it and he won't.

Need to see the mounting points on the back side of the bags.

So the back side is rigid. I am sure you could get some FLH brackets for your year and make something happen. Merry to you as well.

Oh you are all good. Probably need to be finessed to fit the shovel, but looks like it should work out. have fun.
