Default Saddlebag options for Fatboy Lo

I'm looking to add saddlebags to my '15 fatboy lo. I'm looking at the Tourmaster Cruiser III Slants either large or xl. I heard they run small. I'm not sure which size would fit better, especially worried about clearing the rear turning signals and not hitting my 2 into 1 Vance & Hines pipes. Separately, i'm concerned about how these don't sway around while turning/leaning. I watched a video review from Revzilla and there's a fastener in the rear that can be hooked to stabilize to the bike. Anyone have these and can share their experience / size chosen? I'm also thinking about whether universal support brackets are appropriate such as the Saddlemen S4 Universal Support Brackets...

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Leatherpros need no supports or rear signal relocation.

Check out Boss Bags. They have many styles and sizes. They make quality stuff. Yes, they are expensive. They also do custom work.

I am not sure Cocky is correct about your Fatboy and NOT needing signal relocation. His photo shows rear signals mounted farther back on a Deluxe.

Edit: I stand corrected. It appears from reading the links that Leatherpros makes bags that fit around Fatboy signals, (Sure does not look like it on Cockys photo).

I have springer bags on my Fatboy rear fender, They fit with stock signal placement.

Quick search found this thread I think you will like:

Boss bags and Leather Pro bags are made by two brothers. In fact Leather pro makes a lot of bags for his brother at Boss bags. About the only difference in the two is the mounting brackets. Both will work with a fatboy lo and no need to relocate the rear signals. I have boss bags 40's which hold 40 12oz cans of beer each side.

Cocky does not have a fatboy. Thats why the signals are in a different location.
