I see in the Harley Rider's Essentials Kit for the FLSTC they include a saddlebag relocation kit. What is that? And... Is the whole kit worth the money if I get a new FLSTC?

 

I needed a mounting kit to put some HD bags on my FXSTC. I purchased the $40 kit from the dealer. I then went to the hardware store, purchased some bolds and spacers for about $10 and took the kit back to the dealer. I don't know about the kit you are talking about, but one which is probably similar for my bike was definately not worth the money.

 

The kit replaces the Saddle Bag front mounting bottom bracket to a different piece of metal. Just a couple of metal brackets with nuts & bolts included. Easy to install. Had to install the relocation kit when I installed the Chrome Passenger Footboard Kit. If you want a picture will be glad to email you a copy. Kit 90238-00 was only $12.00 less 15% discount. May not be necessary for what you want to do.

 

I needed the kit to install the saddlebag guards. Only $11.00 and change. I've also added the passenger foot board and didn't need any additional hardware since the kit was already installed.
