Default Detatchables

Has anybody put the detachables option on their Heritage? I was thinking i would like to but also was told it makes the saddlebags stick out further and i dont really want the BMW look from the rear. Not that theres anything wrong with a BMW just not the look i want.

Input on the HD detachable backrest bracket and saddlebag bracket. I will take a pic from the rear tomorrow and post it for you. If they stick out further it's not very noticeable in my opion

I have the detachable tour-pak. I think it puts a 3/4 in gap at the top of the bags, which I think looks bad. If I run without the bags, I'm left with the posts.

Here are he pictures. I don't think they stick out that far compared to stock. Maybe half to 3/4 inch more but you don't notice it when it's all put together

Just did my bike about a month ago. They do stick out a little bit more, but not a problem. That chrome belt guard is more visible afterwards. Very happy I did mine. In case you were not aware, there are two separate docking kits required if doing the backrest also. Bike can be stripped down in seconds, no tools needed.

They do stick out a tiny bit further, but it adds so much convenience, totally worth it.
