Default Another saddle bag question

To start off with I have used the search the function but did not find what i was looking for.
I have a 2016 Deluxe, I am kicking around the idea of adding hard bags to it. I have read most of the posts about the TCMT hard bags on amazon, they don't seem to be too bad.
But my question is I like the looks of the '13 on down bags better that the '14 up bags, will the mounting kits that say 1986-2013 fit on a 2016?
I'm pretty sure the fender struts didn't change and they should work but thought maybe someone has tried this already.
TIA

Use the Cycle Visions kit.
They will accept (ALL) bags from the 90's
to present (Including leather RK Classic etc)
You need the addn'l supt at the bottom, otherwise
they'll flap in the breeze.

You can make almost any set of bags work with the right hardware. Main thing in deciding which bags, are what pipes you' have.
