Default Saddlebags w/out relocating signals?

[the search feature is still down...]

Never had saddlebags before, but am planning for a lot of riding this summer.

Does anyone have info or experience about throw-over saddlebags that do not require relocating the turn signals? In saddlebags, I would prefer functionality over how many skull-embossed conchos they have or whatever. I like the look of the Kuryakyn Gran Throwovers, but think they may be too big and require relocating the signals.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Slants or the smaller ones will work without moving the signals.

There was a previous thread about this,,,,the bottom line is that only compact forward slant bags will work without relocating the rear turn signals

I purchased my (14.5L X 6W X 12H inches) throw overs from Jafrum. They are larger than I thought, but fit well with out turn relocation, & will work just fine on the long trip I purchased them for.
Today was their maiden voyage, & the first place I went - a guy who has a sportster stopped me & asked about them. [sm=smiley20.gif]
