Default Saddle bag hardware.....



Does anyone know what hardware is needed for this mount? Also wondering if any quick release brackets will work here?

If those are the Deluxe bags, there is no 'hardware' -just two bolts that go through the strut. There is an optional bracket for extra support that attaches from the bottom, but most people chuck it as they feel it to be unsightly.

Are the bolts used for attachment usually supplied with the bags??????
Thanks.

I would assume that such expensive bags would come with the 2 darn bolts. The dealer will certainly have the bolts, and you probably have a couple laying around your garage that would work. They do not look like hard to find items at all.

If they don't come with the bolts, you can have mine. Been laying around the garage...I don't have a need for them anymore.

I just got a set (90133-6A) off E-bay NIB and they came with bolts for three different installations. Something like 2-3/8x2, 2-3/8x2-1/2 and 2- 3/8x3 + washers, Reflectors, etc.

I've got those same bags, and they do come with the bolts and washers.

I have the samebagson my 07 Deluxe. I bought detachable bolts from Drag Specialties. They are called Barebacks. Easy on, easy off. Little pricey $100 for 4 bolts. Go to your dealer and they can order them for you. Hopes that helps.

Could anyone tell me which bolts holes in the fender rail are used for mounting, and is there a need to relocate turnsignals (it doesn't look like it with the pics from Harley)?

JC, I am assuming that you feel that the lower support is unnecessary?
