Default Adding bags to a softail question

Hey there,
I just sprung for some RKC bags for my Lo. I am going to order the cycle visions bagger tail and a rear signal relocation bracket. Is there anything else I need for this? Such as hardware to connect the bags to the brackets? I seem to remember reading somewhere about rubber pads for vibration dampening...but couldn't find anything in the search. Thanks.

Look under the bags in the channel and see if the pads are there. They should be. The bagger tail comes with all the hardware necessary to install it and the bags with the exception of the pads.

ive got bags coming from Fairing Factory, and the rubber blocks are in the latch/hardware kit. They dont come with the cycle vision kit. So if you dont get them with your hardware, you can get them from Harley...cant be very expensive...wait, did I just say that?
