Default HELP!!! Roadking bags on fatboy

Hey guys. I am looking to buy some roadking bags and mount the on my 2010 FATBOY LO and still keep my detachable backrest and passenger foot boards. I have heard there is a bracket out there for this but i cannot find it anywhere! Does anyone know of a setup that would work for this?

I bought mine on eBay for a fairly reasonable price. Went with hard bags, but I’m pretty sure road king bags will work with them too.

I used this one:

The paint fades after a couple of years though, requiring re-painting. My bags came off a '07 Street Glide.

The brackets are sure cheap enough ... A set of used bags and you're looking good.

Use the brackets from Cycle Vision. They cost a bit but they're worth it because of fit, finish, and being sturdy. I cheeped out on my Fatboy and bought some cheeper ones on Ebay. The bags flopped around and didn't feel real stable and had them come off the pegs once on a good bump. Brother thought I was going to loose them. On my crossbones I stepped up for the Cycle vision brackets and so much better. Stay in place and have an extra brace in back to stabilize. I have RK Classic bags on both. As far as the back rest fitting you just put it on first and the cycle vision brackets next.

Used the same brackets on my Fatboy (china stuff). They fit OK but had to be manipulated a bit. If I had the funds at the time id have gone with the Cycle Vision brackets. Heres a pic with hard bags and leather covered RK hard bags same brackets.
