Citorplus, if you could find it that would be great. I'll look through mine and see what I can find. It would be nice to have different sizes to choose from.
I'll be damned if I can find either the ad or the web site now.
But I'll keep looking, if for no other reason than not doing so would reallytick me off.

I went to my local dealer today to ask about bagger mods for my FatBoy and they had a set on the desk. Brackets and bags painted black for almost, if I remember correctly, $1800. Hell no....I'll ebay some takeoffs and paint them myself for that price. Only thing is though, I like my SE II pipes. Can't use stock pipes with bags....Oh well, I'll keep my pipes for now and when I get ready to really customize the bike, I'll look for some tru-duals to go with the new look.

I've got the HD leather covered hard bags on my Fat Boy. No problems, and they come in plenty handy. I can't see why they wouldn't fit on a Heritage.

Take a look at www.sumax.com They make the complete system for Softails, I am planning on putting these on my 99 Heritage sometime this year.

I thought about putting some leather road king bags on my bike, mainly because you can't fit crap in the springer classic saddlebags, but I couldn't convince myself that they'd look good on the Springer Classic

Another option is Champion Hardbags for your Softail:

Resurrecting this old thread to see if any new options out there. I have a 1992 Softail and trying to make it function for daily driver and some light touring. I want to ride it to see my son in Tuscaloosa AL from Orlando (about 600 miles).

I would like hard locking saddlebags. I do not want to get into painting so something plain and black would be good. I do not want anything flashy, but I do want something that looks right for the bike - a bit vintage.

It would be nice if they were easy to remove, but I will probably not remove them very often so that is not a big deal.

I would consider taking some old Road King bags if I could get them to fit. I would not mind, in fact I would prefer something with a little age on it to fit the bike. My bike looks good, but it definitely has some age on it and I like that. I am not trying to make it perfect.

I want it to be functionally solid but I like that it looks like a 25 year old bike.
