These are the saddlebags...

They are out of Hong Kong...but I ordered them on a Tuesday
and they arrived on Friday..they use DHL shipping... and they were in
a big sturdy fiberglass box, very heavy duty container.

For the price I couldn't ask for a better product.
They have several styles so look around on their web site.
Very pleased with them.

Did you use the Bagger tail to mount those?

If the bags are small you may want to chesk out Easy brackets or Gohst brackets, I have used the Easy brackets and like them. they dock to the front 2 strut bolts, and remove easily. I don't have any pics right now, but I'll try to post some in a couple of hours.

Nice Mike. It looks like the easy brackets or whatever kind they are did not bolt right up the the struts so you added a piece for them to attach?

i didnt even consider the easy brackets, just added a couple of 3/8" chromed spacers and
drilled the detachable backrest side plates and it all seemed to work out well..
