Did you have enough clearance between the hard bags and the rear turn lights? I heard that if one is doing the conversion to hard bags, you need to modify the rear turn lights.


Looks nice, I have the 2013 anniversary and was thinking to do the same thing.

here's one of the other side and what I started with.....i'd like to thank everyone that posted on the forum with their experiences with their own hard bag conversion, reading all the posts made it possible for me to do this on my own, and not have to pay shop prices, you guys knew, and advised exactly what brackets to buy, and walked me through this step by step in your posts, i read pages and pages of threads before attempting this, I appreciate it and if I can help anyone else I sure will

I'm liking the hardbag look.
Are the bags bigger, easier to get into, ect...?

Other than the hard bags, what kinda cost was the conversion?

Those look great. I want to do this to my heritage springer. I bought leather road king bags.
