The RK bags will not line up with the mounting location on a softail. So you need to get a conversion bracket from one of the many vendors that make them (cycle visions seems to be most popular). Also since the touring bags are larger they need a bracket at the bottom to help support the added weight, or over time the ABS will crack and fail. Here is a link to cycle visions http://www.cyclevisions.com/index.ph...k-cv7200a.html Your exhaust will also have to be below your rear axle or it will hit the bags. I know sometimes a visual make more sense. Also doesnt matter if you put RK leather bags or the ABS bags on, all touring bags mount the same. If you need more help keep asking. I am running RK custom bags on my FB and love them.

I have a set of RK bags with the filler pieces on my Deluxe. I used the CV brackets. I even mounted a full blown TourPak on it, Super Glide Engine guard w/ lowers, and a fairing.
So I have a "Delutra" . Even added Cruise Control so makes a great road bike now.

They follow the line of the fender (it's a fatboy fender) pretty close, if they stuck out further it was minimal and didn't look like they didn't go with the bike at all. If you need bigger bags and don't want the look of hard bags it's a good and reasonably affordable way to go. There are always tons of RKC bags on sale in the touring parts classifieds.
