Default Heritage Hard Bags?

I’m considering buying some hard Bags for my Heritage. Everything I see says they require taillight/ turn signal relocation. I’m curious what forum members have used for the bags and turn signals. Definitely don’t want a couple holes showing on the fender. Thanks

Your turn signal bar fit perfectly!

Obviously, for the OP, if your bags are longer than those in the repsonder's ( @paul1970 ) picture, yah, you'll have to relocate.

Looks good, Paul. Make me wanna do that. (My wife would never forgive me. She LOVES the true "heritage" look of the Heritage. As do I, really. Just...hard bags would be nice sometimes.

My wife and I both really liked the heritage look too but after I did the hard bag conversion we loved that bike so much easier to get in and out of the bags and way more space

Standard OEM sized bags will fit just fine.

You might search the forum for "Softail bagger" as this subject has been discussed many times before.

Bought this for my '12 Heritage. It is an OEM Deluxe light bar, and is straight plug and play. I believe it was just over $100 from Harley. May give you the clearance you need.

I did this a several years ago, and I don't recall needing to move the turn signals.

MANY THANKS TO YOU
