Check out the Ironbag site.
They're pricey but you get what you pay for. They will give you a choice of mount locations, so they will fit without relocating your signals. I went with the regular mount location. If I had them mounted more forward, I would have had interference with the chrome bezel on my seat.

Yes I talked to David and he sent me a template of the Springer Bags, they are the exact same size and shape as the Bull Bags except for the top flap and zipper under the flap.

Get "Rage Heat Bolt on" from Fox Creek Leather...u would not regret.. each bag can hold upto 1593 cubic inch of stuff.. no relocation required and with easy brackets this would be the best thing you can buy.. I was in the same situation where only thing I could do other than carry my lunch was nothing else ...so after doing a lot of research and ordering bags from JPCycles and motorcycle superstore I ended up with fox creek leather... they are really good looking bags, strong construction.. outer is leather but inside is marine grade vinyl but there is no way you can tell if you see it in person that this bags are no leather...Check out the link and the bags look exactly the same and even better IMO... here is the link .. Hope this is what you are looking for...btw I have a 2008 fatboy with V&H big radius 2-1 and was always concerned about what bags would look good and this fit the bill perfectly and knowing I did not pay a fortune does help a lot as well... now i can go spend that money on something else...

Thanks Xaran, appreciate the information. Been thinking about his Springer type bags for a while.

I have an 09 Fatboy with Boss Bags, absolutely love them, and no turn signal relocation. They are easy to install and are quick detachable with a very clean look.
