Default Bags and Cholos

Are there any pics or has anyone tried using Heritage Softail Springer bags with the Cholo pipes.
I love the Cali look but I love my bags too. Trying to come up w/ a better set up.

Thanks, that's what I was wanting to see. I think that looks alot better than the stock heritage bags.

Is that one of your friend's bike. That's a nice bike.

Are you satisfied with the Osprey bags? They look great and seem reasonably priced; they're in the running for me this winter. They're about half the price of Iron Bags, and look as good to me.

I vote for 36" or 39" with the bags so they still stick out a bit. The Heritage springer bags without the fringe look great. I just priced them the other day but already forgot how much they are. They were more than I expected.

Here is a Deluxe with the Heritage Springer bags and fishtails. These are the 28.5 fishtails.

OS,
Love those bags, but don't see them on Osprey's website. Were they a custom order? Do you have quick release brackets? If so, who are they from?

Thanks,

They are the Buffalo Indian Chief bags, his bags are made for each individual customer. He will make them to your specs (fringe, no-fringe, Conchos, basket weave insert). When you purchase the bags a set of EZ brackets are included. They are lockable and are easily off\on in seconds.
