I just purchased a 1998 Heritage springer softail with the black and blue paint scheme. I'm trying to find some parts to put it back close to original. If anyone has any suggestions I'd love to hear them. I've looked at everything eBay has. I've found one set of original saddle bags but they are 2500$. Also looking for a painted front fender before trying to send this one off to paint. Thanks
You are going to be hard pressed to find OEM bags in serviceable condition for cheap....... People tend to way overprice discontinued Springer parts and they even put a premium on substandard condition parts. I know this first hand as I own two Springers and have searched for OEM parts from time to time.
Boss Bags make very good (albeit not cheap) saddlebags. They make a Springer Style bag that looks very much like the OEM. Most people wouldn't know the difference.
Open this URL, and scroll down, on the right is a link to their "Springer Style Bags".
@hattitude hit the nail dead on the head. Springer parts definitely bring big money, it's a shame, but supply and demand. The Boss Bags are your best bet.
Good luck with the build, I'd be ditching the Fat Spokes and go back to the original look, I did it on my Heritage, didn't like the look after a while
not to mention the DNA spokes n nipples rusted in 1 season.
