Default Heritage bags on a standard?
Switching to a Fatboy rear fender and thinking about switching to Heritage style saddlebags. Will Heritage bags/brackets in the same year range bolt onto a standard without modification? I know the turn signals would need to be relocated.

There's also a bottom bracket that catches the passenger foot peg you'll have to check out...

Sold my Heritage bags a couple years ago to someone putting them on a Deluxe or Standard. I think the mounting holes to the fender strut were slightly different but easily fixed by redrilling. Find someone to measure the distance
between holes and yes you'll need the brackets.

I was wondering about that arm at the bottom of the bracket. When you say it catches the foot peg, do you mean that it goes behind the foot peg (between the peg mount and the frame), or do you mean it's in the way and would have to be cut off to use the bags on a standard?

You mean something other than the Heritage brackets? Do they make brackets for mounting the Heritage style bags on a standard?

Anyone know the center to center measurement for the mounting bolts on the older (90-99) Heritage bag brackets?

I am designing a bag mount system that will allow you to use heritage bags on a fat boy. The bags will be quick disconnect. Design consists of side plates an lower brackets. System will allow you to retain the removable back rest. Turn signals may have to be relocated or smaller depending on application.
