Hello..
Looking for assistance regarding Sportster saddlebags.
Harley part numbers stamped inside each of the bags are 79056-01 / 79077-01 (right side bag) and 79055-01 / 79076-01 (left side bag).
What year and model Sportsters will these fit?? I can find no help online anywhere!
I have a 2003, 100th anniversary edition, XL1200C. The holes in the built in U shaped bracket line up, but the cut out for turn signals doesnt line up. Is there a difference in the distance between the screws in the fender rail on the 883 compared to the 1200C?
thanks
The bags are correct for your bike, you need the turn signal relocation kit #68485-04. That kit is now obsolete thru H-D, but if you call a few close dealers they may still have the kit.
Try these dealers: Harley-Davidson of Eastgate Cincinnati P-513-528-1400
F-513-528-8291 Baxter Harley-Davidson Bidwell P-740-446-6336
F-740-446-0015 Jim's Harley-Davidson Sales Mendon P-419-795-4185
F-419-795-3008 Western Reserve Harley-Davidson Mentor P-440-974-6900
F-440-974-6911
some online sites say that part number will work except for 1200s. Others say works for all XLs except 1200 Sport. So, if I find one I hope it works- it should since mine is a 1200C. I also have Harley side plates for detachable sissy bar back rest. Hope that doesnt throw a curve into the mix.

You may be misreading 1200S as "1200's" ... which then would saying the same thing as your second statement ... "Others say works for all XLs except 1200 Sport."
I have the exact same bike and set of bags. I figured out you have to move or delete the rear signals. Did you ever find a work around with the detachable sissybar? The guy I got them from asured me they would work but I am starting to think I'm screwed
79056-01 79077-01 Do these bags fit ONLY the older models, or are they universal with the turn signal/plate relocation kit? I'm trying to sell these and need accurate fitment information. Any help is appreciated!
