Default Fatboy Touring Bike

Riding an 07 Fatboy. I love the look of the Tour-Pak that's designed for the Road King. Also like the volume of the Road King Classic Bags.Does HD make a bracket for the wider 07 fender struts,quick connection along with the Road King Bags. Looking at Rineharts for the exhaust, which I think will work with the RK Bags.

I know what everyone is going to say "should have bought a bagger" But I love the Fatboy and need to take it on some long trips.

I just slap a windshield and my sissy bar with luggage rack and two bags and I go. I can pack for about 7 days on the road without having to wash anything.

Nothing worong with adding a few things to your Fatboy. I call mine the FatBagger. I ride with the windscreen and harmounted bags all the time.

Dont know about mounting the Road king bags on it, but do what you want, after all its your bike. Harley may have designed it but its up to you to make it yours.

You can put the touring bags on the Softail using a Cyclvision "Bagger Tailkit" http://www.cyclevisions.com/bag-moun...ail-bag-mountsYou can also put the King Tour Packs on the Softails. I have a Detachable King Tour Pack and Hard bags on mySoftail (Put a Fat Boy fender on it so the brakets would be better hidden.)

I have the quick disconnect windshield, passenger backrest/luggage rack, and hard leather bags for my FatBoy.

This allows me to go from 'cruising mode' to 'touring mode' almost instantly.

Thanks Guys,

What I'm looking for is the HD Tour Pak. I don't think that they have come out with the quick connect bracket which will fit the Wider Rear Fender of the 2007 Fatboy. I would buy one without the bracket, and mount it directly to the sissy bar/rack, but the tour pak has a backrest built in, defeats the purpose.

May just end up tying a duffle bag to it, what the hell.....

Anyone going to Milwaukee for the anniversary...Lucky me, I live in North Carolina, but work in downtown Milwaukee.
