Softail® Swingarm Axle Cover
HD Part #48056-97B (Will not work fit Saddlebags.)
Why do all the saddlebags say this: Does not fit with Rear Axle Covers.
and I have no desire to relocate my turn signals but all saddlebag installations say this: All models require separate purchase of Turn Signal Relocation Kit.
My question is there any way around this or am I just stuck with no other options?
You can call and talk to their tech.They will let you know what will fit on your bike.
I had the option of having my bags mounted a few inches further forward, so I wouldn't have to relocate my rear signals. I would of had to remove the chrome trim around my seat that only comes with the SE version of the Fat Boy. I decided to leave the trim and relocate the rear signals. You will not have this problem.

I second Ironbags like tmitchellof PG said. I have them on my bike and I did not have to re-locate my turn signals. If your looking for something that is quick detach I would go with Boss Bags but if your going to mount them and leave them Iron Bags is the way to go.
