bubba's quick release saddlebag kit
Hi everybody, I am new to this forum and need some help. I've got a heritage with bubbas kit on my saddlebags and want to add the detachable sideplates (HD brand) and was wondering where the docking points are located on the fender rail for the sideplates? Do I need the hd docking hardware along with the bubbas to make this work? I ask because I see 3 docking post on each side on some bikes and the bubbas kit only gives you 2. any tips would be appreciated

RE: bubba's quick release saddlebag kit
You actually got something from Bubba's? I tried to get their extended floorboards and brake lever two years ago, and couldn't get them to ship it. Every week it was something new - changed welders, someone had the flu, had the order boxed, lost the order, said it was shipped, said it was being manufactured, then back to the "we just changed welders" story again. I cancelled after 10 weeks.
hmm, sorry for venting. There should be two docking points on a Heritage.

RE: bubba's quick release saddlebag kit
"docking points" are where either the saddlebag or detachable side-plate connect. The bags and sissybar/luggage rack attached to the detachable side-plates on my Heritage have two. If you're talking how many bolt-on points for the rail, there's at least three. If you have something from Bubbas on there, I'd have no idea what you are dealing with - never seen ANY Bubbas products.

Since this has been resurrected I have a question...why don't other bag makers offer bags designed to be compatible with the Harley detachable mount points?
I have a set of the HD mounts on my Fatboy for my backrest but it seems the only bags compatible with my hardware are overprices HD bags in a limited selection. A lot of bikes have HD mounts and with the magnetic covers over them when they're off they don't look bad. I'm surprised other companies don't make bags that fit em..I don't think it would be a patent issue.

Does anybody have parts for these? A friend gave me a kit with everything except one of the twisting handle pieces that go through the bag and into the threaded bold on the strut? anybody... I just need one piece.
