We've been lucky enough to work with a painter that has been doing the repair work for our local HD dealers for over 20 years. Great people to work with. Their matches are spot on, including Denim Black!

 

When do you plan on getting the no exhaust cutouts available?

 

We actually just got them done recently. I just haven't taken pictures for the website yet. We actually bond in blocks over the cutouts with the same radius at the base. This means that you would definitely want to paint them because there will be a seam where that block is bonded in.

I should have pics soon.

 

I have a 98 Fatboy FLSTF with V&H long shots. Will any of your bags fit this or will I have to change out to a 2-1 or duals? I currently have leather throw over bags. Also are your bags fast/easy to install and remove or is it more of a permanent install.

 

Sorry for the delinquent response! Not sure how i missed this????

On Softails, you need to purchase Cycle Visions' Bagger Tail kit. It allows you to mount hard bags on a Softail. Once that is on, then attaching the bags is a cinch. Unfortunately, when you take the bags off, then you will see the mounting hardware. So, in my mind it's a bit more permanent.

The bags go back all the way to the end of the rear fender. So, even your longshots will terminate under the bags. If you decided to run with these, you would want to order them WITHOUT cutouts. Or, Bubs makes a pair of pipes specifically for Softails with hard bags that are longer. If you were to swap, then you would want the cutouts.

 

Ok thanks for clearing that up. Im still not sure if hard bags are the way I want to go.

 

just got my Tsukayu patrol bags in and waiting for them to be painted. I should have them back this weekend and then can get them put on... will post pics once done. From initial glance though; they do look good quality and the lock should work great! The carpeting inside could probably be a little better; but not the end of the world. I've been taking photos of the unpacking and pre-painted so will try to do a separate thread with my experience from ordering, receiving to installed

 

Joseys did you noticed something strange whe added the duals on the Fat Lo? I got mine and felt the bike pulling to the left. I guess due to the "new" pipe on the left side.
Thanks
