Dude I love those bags. GJ.

I am curious...is it possible to drop them a bit for mounting?

Oh and get some duals! JK. Bike looks great bud.

Trust me, I got them as low as they'll go. I had to drill the new holes and there's a large lip up top that I'm right up against. Also has the quick-releases. You'd have to have a 'hanger' bracket to get them lower. Then they'd be flimsy and you'd need lower supports.

The lower bags like the springer ones are also huge, so it's a trade off I suppose...

Yep, duals are on the plate.

How do those bags latch? They don't have those plastic clips underneath do they?

They've got some big honkin' metal quick disconnects (two inside each bag). Snaps into place over the metal support studs and has knurled metal collars you pull back to quick-release.

Edit: I think I just got what you were asking, lol. Yeah, there's quick releases under the buckles...

Thanks all for the compliments... Slowly coming together...
