Default fatboy lo help
Hey yall, I'm a new rider as of last year. I purchased a 2011 fatboy lo and im looking to put some hard bags on it. But I'm curious since it is a lo that if I put bags (extended or regular) that I will have to be cautious about the bags being too close to the ground. Will I have to go with the standard bags or will extended work just fine? I would love all the help I can get. Thanks!

I don't have bags and I didn't sleep at a Holiday Inn last night, but I don't think it really matters. Check with whoever you're getting the bags from as I'm sure they'd know. I think mounting hardware is going to be your bigger concern, as in detachable or not?

Right, never hurts to ask. Look into easy brackets for mounting depending what you end up getting.
