Hard bag conversion 2012 Softail Classic
Sold my factory seat and bags to a guy with a 2000 Softail Classic and everything bolted right on.
I am on my second set of eBay frames for the conversion and I have to tell you the quality is just not there in that $50 range. on the second set of rails a piece came off that holds the bag it broke off and the bag wound up in the middle of the highway. since it's an Amazon purchase everything is being replaced but I bit the bullet today and bought the cycle Visions kit for $270. As far as the bags themselves they look fine. The cheap frames were always off a little bit everywhere and the bags were just not exactly straight to my liking.

I went with the e-bay Bagger Tail knock-offs.
They probably are not the same quality as the Cycle Visions version but they seem to be holding up well.

It it would be great to see a picture from the rear of your bike to see how everything lines up

I didn't have to modify anything to get the mounts and bags to fit.
