Yesterday I finished the last of themods I had planned for this winter.
Mods completed were:
-Replaced 2006 Dyna Low handlebars with 2007 XL1200 Low
handlebarsfor an additional 1" pullback.
- Installed Sundowner seat.
- Installed Brake light/Running light/Turn signal conversion kit.
- Replaced standard height HD windshield (plastic) with Memphis
Shades compact (15") windshield (plastic).
- Installed set of Easy Brackets.
- Installed set of Leather UP leather saddlebags. Look kinda
cheap (and they were) but they will do for now.
Previous mods included Relocated Turn signals and Cycle Shack Tapered Slip on mufflers.
You have been busy - loks good. Two questions
Did you rigid nount the bags?
Do you need to exgtend wiring/cables for the 120 low bars? - I think that may be my next mod if I don't have to replace too much

The bags are mounted with Easy Brackets. The bags bolt to the brackets and the brackets arequick-disconnect. The brackets have a key-hole slots that mount onslotted spacers installed on the fender rail bolts.
All that was needed to mount the XL1200 Low bars was a longer brake line and to reroute the throttle cables outside the triple tree instead of through it.

The bags are 14" wide, 12" high and 5½" deep. If I had it to do again, I'd go with the Saddleman Drifter bags.
