Default Mounting kit for FLH hard bags on SofTail

Who makes the mounting kits to put stock H-D FLH hard bags on the softail? Anyone have experience with these? Anyone have a used set of these laying around for sale?

I just ordered a CV Bagger Tail mount for my DLX last week. Also the filler panels. I checked into several different mounting "solutions" and CV was recommended by many of the Forum members. They are not cheap but once you drop a set of $800 bags on the back, you want them to stay put!!!

Pictures will be posted once i get them back form Paint and get the CV mounts on.

I am using cavalry fiberglass mounts that I got off eBay for under $200. They work good, and I have never had an issue with them. Some of the guys here will say you need the cross bracket but I have not had an issue with not having even when loaded down for a two week trip.

Can anyone post pics of their softail with hard bags ? I'm thinking of this myself. Thanks

My soft bags are turning to raisins. ..

I use the Drag Specialties Kit for my bags and added the RK bags to my Deluxe. I wouldve included the link but the DS website seems to be down at the moment, I will update my post shortly.

Here are two pics of mine during mock-up and completion.

I used CV brackets as well as filler panels.
