Rocker oil bag on FXSTB?

Hey all, kicking around some ideas for my bike. Gonna lower her and slap on some new wheels when I get back from the desert.

I know alot of folks dont like 'em, but I kinda dig the ribbed oil bags on Rockers. Is one of these a straight bolt up? I know they run a bigger tire, but is it just a softail frame with a bigger swingarm?

Thanks!

Not sure if it's a straight swap, but they did put it on the '09 screamin eagle softail springer. It also has a 240 tire though.

I have heard that the frame is wider than the train and not sure of the mounting either. I don't know anyone with one so I can compair the two. Good luck with that

Call Harley. Might be mountable with some tweeking.

What's up bud? Hows the Heartland working out?

I'm still in Iraq, so it's not just a quick call, lol. I'm just kicking around ideas and thought the combined knowledge of the forums might know right off.

Hey County,

Sorry to say but it's not an easy bolt up and such. I just seen a thread yesterday about Rocker people who want to put the smooth or ones like ours on theirs, and she's not remotely a close fit by far. Aftermarket is your best bet. Think the frames are different enough for it to work.

Take care out there!
