Thanks for that. I have a set of those brackets that have been sitting in my tool box for about 2 years. Now I know what to do with them.

Regards,

I have a 1993 heritage softail FLSTN would like to know if anyone has any experience in putting on hard bags from other years of harleys without to much modification, thinking about getting some hard bags from an
older sportster, like the small compact look, any suggestions or comments?
These aren't Harley bags but they are small and compact, which is what you said you were considering. I've had these on my FLSTN for about a week now and really like them. Inexpensive too.

How's the quality? They look great but the price seems way too good to be true. Genuine HD hard bags are 10x that price... and yours are unique.
