Default Leather Saddlebags for Fat Boy..........

For some reason the "search" feature doesn't work so I'll ask you guys. When using throw-over type bags, what keeps the bags from flopping around in the wind? I know the "bracket" type can't blow around cause they are attached to the frame. One more question. Does anyone know how long the bag can be without moving the blinkers? Thanks!

This is a pic of our 3200 series bags on a Fatboy. This is about the biggest size you can go without moving the blinkers on a bike with stock pipes.

Throwovers usually need support bracket that bolts to the struts that keep them away from the bike. You can anchor the bags to the bracket.
