[QUOTE=LeatherPro;16985284]. So we have to start from scratch and make a new bag that is a little shorter.

If you must make them shorter please make them longer. Stretch them back to the turn signals and have the opening bigger.

I don't own a M8 Heritage yet but I do see one in the future if someone, even Harley, gets the bags figured out.

The bags on my Shovel were hand made by a guy here in Oklahoma.

Okay, one more question -- will the left-side bag work with a swing arm bag installed?

I’m thinking no.

Any more of an ETA on these? I have tax refund money that will soon be burning a hole in my pocket!

We have the first bags done for the Fat Bob, Low Rider, Slim and Street Bob that don't require turn signal relocation, but not up on the website yet. We are just finishing the same basic bags for the Breakout and Fat Boy (that have different hole spacing), then we will get them all on the site at once. In the mean time, you can call us if you want to order a pair.

Keep ridin'

We just finished the first pair of the original size Retro T-Sport bags that require turn signal and license plate relocation along with different pipes. We sent them to Chip at San Diego Customs yesterday to have him mount them on his new Fat Bob, take some pictures and double check to make sure everything fits right.

OK, we now have the bags for the 2018 Softails (except the Deluxe) up on our site to order at

https://leatherpros.com/2018-softail/

Bags for the Deluxe (and Heritage) will be a few weeks yet.

Thanks to all who contributed on this thread!
