Hey everyone im new on here, I searched but couldn't find a thread for this. I was wondering if Switchback saddlebags will fit a 2015 Fat bob? I know there are some aftermarket ones but I like the look of the switchbacks.
Thanks, if this has been answered before please point me in the right direction
The search feature on this site isn't great. I usually just google it and add hdforums to the search. For instance "switchback saddlebags on fat Bob hdforums"
A guy in this thread used after market bags that look pretty good

I don't believe so without significant fender mods. If memory serves me right the Fat Bob's fender does not hang low enough for the rear bag mount to be attached.
+1 on a lot of mods needed, Fatbob has different fender and the bottom mount for the saddlebags attaches to the bottom rear of the fender, + you would need to relocate the turn signals, it would cost a small fortune to do.
These are Switchback bags on my 2007 Dyna FXD. I had to buy 4 mounting spools that go on the fender struts from HD. For the back bottom of the bags I adapted a bar from Shovelhead bags to keep the bags from swaying back and forth. Also had to relocate the turn signals. I can post more detailed pictures if you want.
Fender ir brace must be longer to mount quick disconnect mounts. The top spool mounts use the same holes in the fender struts. Spools & bolts are not cheap from HD. If you want them it is easy if you wish to work and not so disabled to not own tools. Very good choice. I did it when they first came out. I bought 2 separate brand new complete bags off of e-Bay for around $475 total.
You could probably make it work by using an Easy Brackets Saddlebag Mounting System. Obviously you wouldn't be using the original mounting hardware but it could work and be removable..
