saddlebags - ID and value?
I have recently come across these older genuine leather HD saddlebags. I was told they originally came from a Heritage Softail.
Does anyone know if they are from a Heritage or some other bike? Any idea what someone might pay for bags like these? There are no brackets with them. The holes, at least the large holes drilled in them, were done by someone, they are not original mounting holes.
Here are two pics: If you click on them to enlarge, you can see greater detail, including some numbers on the back of one bag.

They don't look too big, but they've got a lot of style. I like them. But I wouldn't pay more then $100 for them. You can get much bigger and newer bags, but these do have some character to them.

I am not a fan of soft bags is you really have a need for bags get a set of dresser bags and have a custom set of mounts made for your fat-boy check out robs used harley parts in va he might have a set in the right color and i know jackman cycles can make you some mounts he did a set for a friend with a delux

I'm definitely not a photographer, but this is my best attempt...
Please click on the photo to enlarge.
When it takes you to the Google Picasa page with the photo, enlarge it further to see the tape measures.

There are numbers on the photo with the back side of the bags. Also, the Harley logo and "Made in USA" (<--- haven't seen that in ages!!!). I don't know which ones are part numbers.
