Default Small Saddlebag question

a few days ago, i saw a softwail crossbones with two small Harley Davidson saddle bags that were mounted with two straps to the fender struts. they look like oversized fork bags, maybe 16 or 18 inch long, and did not have any mounting hardware, just the straps. I looked everywhere for those but could not find them. Anyone can point me to the right direction?

If they're Harley bags they would be in the HD Accessories Catalog. Get your dealer to give you one. You'll never go to the crapper again without it.

Even if they have been discontinued your local dealer can find them (if available) at any shop across the country. I just bought Black Trimed Springer bags for my Fatboy and later had them run me down a black basket weave tank panel to match.

Helps if you can find a part #.

Come to think of it I just tossed these and the side support frames as they were just too small.



You might search Ebay for Fatboy bags as they are shorter and smaller due to the exhaust configuration.
