Default Saddle Bags for V&H 2-1

09 Softail Custom...

I bought the bike new last year and immediately got HD saddlebags for a trip the next month. This year, I decided to upgrade the stock pipes to the V&H 2-1. Got them all installed, but lo and behold, the * that says the pipes won't fit with the stock bags apparently refers to more than just bikes that come with stock bags as mine doesn't come with stock bags...

So, any ideas on bags that will fit with this pipe? I'll be selling my current bags now, but I have a trip in June that I'll need the storage for. So, any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the idea. I looked into this and my bags aren't made for this hardware. I mean, there's no way I can use that hardware with my current bags. I think I'm going to drop the whole saddlebag thing and get tourpak or something. I like the bobtail look better than the bags anyway

Thanks for the suggestion.
