I'm trying to remove the saddle bag mounting posts on my 2009 heritage,
are there bolts on the other end behind the fender?? They seem to be moving but not coming off. it too tight to get my hand in there to feel.
The brackets fit into holes in the fender to keep them stable. If the bolts are removed, the brackets will come out. They are not secured to the fender with anything other than the bolts.
Thanks for the info guys! I was able to remove the bolts without any issues. Initially, It felt like the bolts were just spinning. Putting it up on a jack gave me some room to get my hand under the fender and could feel there were no bolts!
