The wife just got a new Deluxe and needs saddlebags. Neither she, nor I are fans of the HD Deluxe style bags and she isn't much of a fan of the Heritage bags. What we both like is the style of the Crossbones or Slim/Blackline saddlebags. Does anybody know of fitment of either of these on a Deluxe? In the catalog the Crossbones bags description specifically states that they don't fit the Deluxe but I think i read somewhere of somebody installing them on a Deluxe.
Google ''Osprey saddlebags'', David makes some real nice ones, and they are real well made too.
You can have them with or without fringes, studs or no studs, lots of different variations.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Had I not gotten the Nostalgia bags, which I love btw, these would have been my second choice;
Thanks for the suggestions guys. I'm actually looking specifically for fitment info of the factory HD Crossbones or Slim/Blackline saddlebags onto a Deluxe. My dealer does not have any of these in stock to check fitment and its not very practical for me to order a set in to see if they work and fit the bike well. Just hoping somebody out there has been down the road ahead of me. Thanks.
