Hard bags on springer classic
Looking for some more storage for long trips, my buddy has a set of vintage police bags and I was wonder if anyone has put a set on the springer or other softails. I would like to keep them detachable cause they are only gonna be used for long road trips, the stock bags are fine for short trips or running around town.

I put factory hard bags on my Heritage Classic. Very similar to what cyclevisions offers.
Worked and looked fine. Only issue was if you wanted to strip it down it took a little time, and a little more to put it all back together. Wound up leaving the bags on all the time. Certainly wasn't disappointed with leaving them on.

I have a set of hard bags on Ghost Brackets that I use for long trips on my Night Train. Here are a few pics. I had to relocate the rear turn signals to the license plate/taillight mount. I also made a brace that goes between the bags, to keep them from swinging in and out, that isn't in the pics. Personally, I don't think they look bad, but I definitely prefer no bags at all.
Cheers!
