Default Installing Heritage bags on a Deluxe

I'm putting Heritage saddlebags on a Deluxe. Already changed the exhaust to duals. What options are there for the rear lights which now hit the bags?
Thanks!

If some of you Deluxe guys are wanting the Heritage style rear light bar maybe we can trade. I am wanting the Deluxe style on mine. Took the bags off to show off the chrome and wheels.

They're bullet style on the Deluxe and stick out the back some. The backs on the Heritage and Road Kings are flat.
I have the Bags for the Deluxe on mine and even they are cut out where the light backs are . . .




although these from a Road King Custom seem to work. Maybe they need to be spaced out a bit from the fender;

David I’m assuming you’ll be running the Heritage "Springer" bags on your bike and there should be no clearance problems. Attached are the bags on my bike. Let me know if you need different pics and or measurements. I tried to show the clearance at both the side and rear view. I dont have the rear bars on my bike but my riding buddy has the same as yours with the same bags...no issues. Sorry for quality of pics...you get the idea!!

install the barebacks and that will put the bags out just enough to clear those bullet style lights. I will have to find the member here that did it and post the link.
