Default Saddlebag Mounting Question
New owner of a 2009 Crossbones.. looking for some information on how to easily and inexspensivly mount some saddlebags to my ride. I want to be able to mount them and leave them , dont need to worry about any quick disconnect or anything. Anyone have any information to get me going in the right direction?

Interested in something like this:

You can just find nearly any saddle bag you want online. Then get the same bolts that are in your struts now, just get them a little longer, add a few washers to the mix, and bolt the bags directly to the bike. No big deal. Hell, I bolted an army ruck to my bike. The sky's the limit and it's not hard at all.

The willie and max bags are 18.5 " wide.. might be close in fit, but worth a shot.

Anyone that has Easy Backets, How good do they hold up at the bottom of the bags without the factory support bar? Do they stay away from the tires ok?

Easy Brackets will keep them off your tires just fine.

Easy brackets are the best, very firm and reliable
