I want a set of saddlebags for my new ride but do not want to pay for the HD product.
Can anyone recommend a brand that fits without interfering with the signal lights,and is able to be removed easliy.
Thanks

If failing to find this topic in the search area, which I believe was covered recently, you could just pony up and get the HD stuff. It's not near expensive as the new bike purchase itself.

E-Bay will save you about $200-$300 most times and new Fatboy bags are on there all the time. Be carefull of part numbers for proper fit because of those shotguns. It's the mounts that are going to make you crap when you see the prices. I don't like bags on a Fatboy so I went the T-Bag route but I'm always looking. Be very carefull on E-Bay because lots of them go for as much as your local dealer sells them for. Lots of different bags will fit but you have to know what you're doing. Fatboy bags usually wont even hold a heavy leather jacket because they are small. The turn signal relocation will probably be needed for any of them though and it's not a big deal. Remember too that cheap bags make a cheap looking bike. Lot's of people on here are very price minded, cheaper is better, so take some replys for what they are.

Twan, go in and do a search on this also. I learned a lot from people here. It's a common topic.
