Hard Bag Help, Softail Slim
Hard Bag Help, Softail Slim
I have a long distance ride in June and have a 2013 Softail Slim. I need some help on what I need for a setup.
Key factors:
I have a 2:2 Exhaust, so it can't be large bags.
I do have passenger pegs.
I think I need to get a custom bracket for quick detach or if someone can steer me to the correct website i'll check it out.
I have an installed sissy bar that is bolted to both sides of the rear fender.
Any and all information is helpful, except trying to tell me to get a RG,SG or RK haha.

I make several long distance trips a year. I use a Saddleman sissy bar bag inexpensive but awesome quality. I also use some $100 throw over saddlebags. Some folks I ride with get cheaper ones on amazon etc. When they give up the ghost then it's not at a significant loss. On the other hand quality detachable bags going to probably be well over $800 to start.

One thing on the Slim- if you do not want to move your plate and turns, choices are nil...looking into this, as my FLS is set up the same, the longest that the top of the bag can go is 15 inches before it becomes and issue with the seat and the pegs with a depth of no more than 13/14 inches.
I too would like to go with hard bags as well now that I have my pipe lowered (well, the top one)...Will be interested to see the replies
