I was given a set of detachable side plates with a back rest and I'm not sure if it will fit my 2012 Heritage Softail Classic. By the cataloge I need part number 53815-00A, but the photo for both that and 53810-00C look identical. This picture is what I have. I'd rather not order in a latch kit and detachable hardware kit until I'm sure it will fit. Can anyone tell by the photo if this will work? If it won't I'll order in the new plates as well. Thanks in advance. I tried to change the title of the thread when I added the picture, but it wouldn't let me.

 

Can't you just place it next to the Fender Struts and see if the Bolts line up?

Am I missing something?

What I was thinking. Usually, a Heritage has saddlebags. That looks remarkable like my side plates (minus the clamps, of course).

If you can't see the bolts, open the saddle bags. Those holes should fit right over the bolts, I think. Now that I think about it a bit more, there should be a divot near the center. Maybe the removable hardware doesn't locate ON the saddlebag bolts. Pretty sure mine has a divot (or cutout) from the bottom, center-ish. I have a 2016, though.

 

Thanks for the replies. I took the saddlebags and back rest off and lined it up. This must be the 3810-00C. The one for the FLSTC must have an open slot for the rear saddle bag mount bolt.

 

Here is a picture of my 2014 Heritage quick detach side plates.

 

Thanks for ;posting the picture, Greatlake.

 

What you have are the removable type not " quick detachable type "

 

Yes, those look like the stock bolt on plates, not quick detatch.

 

Those ARE the quick-detach. I have the same thing on mine (except I have the locking clasps, with a key. I'm paranoid.)

You DO, however, have to have the right bolts. They looks like rubber grommets, and the front gap slides over it, the middle pops down onto another, and the third locks to the back.

Pretty sure the stock, non-detachable, just have "holes" not "insets".

 

Yes, my stock ones have holes in all three places. I think these are the softail quick detachables with the locking clasps removed. I'll see if my brother wants it for his fat boy.
