Looking at buying some Saddlebags, did a search & came back with about 500 results
None seemed relevant
You didn't mention if you are riding solo or how much gear you are bringing.

I like these bags which seem to have good reviews

if you are riding solo and don't a lot of gear you could get a passenger backrest and go for a pack, the one below is a new product that is endorsed by Adam Sandoval. But there are other backpacks out there. (just giving you an option to think about)

I am riding solo, I already have a pack taking up the back seat
That top round pack most likely will not be up top, most likely on the back rack
Still a sleeping bag, sm tent etc to pack on
Saddle bags would give me extra room down low for anything heavier
Yes, I have decided against Custom Harley Garage, rather go with a well known source
I did contact Leather Pros -waiting to hear back

Al the bags I like say I need to relocate the Turn signals - I like these - but they are small 14l each bag
Viking has the relocation Kit, but its black
Viking 28L Overlord Large Harley Softail Fat Boy FLFB/S Leather Motorcycle Saddlebags (vikingbags.com)
Link did not bring me to a specific bag

I gotcha. My link was just for general use, figured you could put in your own bike. They seem well made with good reviews.

Not a personal experience, but, I'd suggest staying away from Viking. To many horror stories and I know a couple guys I work with that had them, and they were low budget at best. If you plan on keeping the bike. I highly recommend you TT the guys over at Boss Bags. Yea I get the cost, but you'll never regret it, due to the quality.

Just remember, ole Ben said it best. " The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten"

I'm actually looking at the Series 50 bags for my Heritage.

I'd still consider Boss Bags over anything out there. Like I said, pay once.
