Default Best bags without relocation kit

I am not keen on installing the relocation kit. (although bike week is coming and a vendor may do it for for less than Harley wants? Two hours labor? )

I am thinking maybe a sissy bar Bag would be enough for now. Bu if I decie to go with throwovers Which doe you guys use with and without the support bracket, (Cobra makes a far better looking Support bracket.


Harley throw over bags are outrageously priced. I don't necessarily want a $1000 project just for bags between the relokit, the mounts and bags

Kury makes a nice relo kit but not for 1200C

It's not very big, but I only need room for my camera and maybe a bottle of wine.

you should be able to find plenty of throw overs without having to do any relocations.
And simple drag specialities support bars are not too expensive either

Check out Bad & G solo bags. They also make throwovers. There also will be no need for relocations or a support bracket.

NIce too bad they don't make both sides...Nice fork bags too.

Maybe I will hold off until Bike Week here. Plenty of vendors. Maybe one of them will relocate my turn sigs if I buy a kit and bags. Already going to have my seat redone, I will buy a rack sissy bar roll bag for now.

With those brackets does it space the bags far enough away to not get in the way of the turn/running lights? Do you have a photo from the rear with stock lights?

Throw-overs with drag or hd bag supports.

I used these for a while but now prefer a back pack or tie stuff to my luggage rack.

I still have thise crappie bags. You can have them. Free!
