I bought the black front fork lowers and fork sliders and did the change out myself. I didn't want the bike to be down long so I spent the $ upfront instead of waiting on powder coating. I'll send the stock parts to my powder coat guy then sell them on ebay to recoup some of the costs. I did the same thing to my StreetGlide.

There are 2 kits one for the License plate and one for the taillights. They are $100.00 or more each.

License Plate Relocation Kit P/N 67900127

Turn Signal Relocation Kit P/N 67800065

It looks even better with the actual License plate on it instead of the Temp Tag.
Are you going to mount hard bags?

Default Bags

No I don't want hard bags. I want these leather ones or ones close to them.





I like the way these will look. I love the old school look of the Slim and I think Leather will add to that old school look.

Which ones are those? HD? Got a part number? How do they mount?

I'm looking for throwovers but don't want to put the backing frame on.

Here is what it says about the part. It is HD.

Detachable Leather Saddlebags - SoftailŽ Slim and Blackline™


These midsize Detachable Saddlebags are completely removable with the simple pull of the internal handle, leaving your bike clean and ready to cruise the boulevard. When removed, the bag leaves behind two simple, inconspicuous docking points. Styled to complement the unique look of the stripped down SoftailŽ Slim and Blackline™ models, these bags feature a leather tub and a reinforced textured vinyl lid that complements the stock and many accessory seats. The traditional leather straps conceal convenient quick-release closures for easy access, and the right-hand bag also features a convenient exterior pocket with magnetic catch for easy access to your cell phone or sunglasses. The bags are compatible with detachable accessories when installed with the appropriate docking hardware kits. Luggage capacity: 1900 cubic inches total.

90200678

Fits '12 FLS and '11-later FXS models. Models with side mount license plate (US Destinations) require separate purchase of License Plate Relocation Kit P/N 67900127. All models require separate purchase of Turn Signal Relocation Kit P/N 67800065 and appropriate docking hardware kit.
