Default Barebacks for saddlebags

I see that Barebacks are not made for XL1200. Just wondering if anyone out there made them work for them. If you did can you please send me a pic. I have the saddlebags from HD with the preformed plastic back that fits around the shock and is not flat on the backside. I ordered easy bracket and I was not able to make it work because of the back of the saddlebag is not flat. Right now I am sorry I purchased the saddlebags that I did. Might be getting ready to sell them.
Any info will help.
thanks

I bought a set from Jafrums and I am returning them. They just do not fit with the turn signal location on my XL 1200R and I do not want to relocate. I will just stick with the sissy bar bags...

I have a Harley sissy bar bag available for sale. It's the one in the HD catalog with the bar and shield. Let me know if you have any interest.

This is the bag I got from Leatherup.com. Just got it today and it is really nice for $80! Comes with a raincover, extra smaller bag, extra straps and spare connectors, all soft leather...Got a leather coat from them a couple months ago and it is also very nice. Has a large sleeve that fits right over the backrest and is velcro adjustable. All kind of straps to secure it to the sissy bar or rack. Fits great on my bike, either on the seat or on the rack.



Also got a spare helmet....

Color is a very close match to the bike.
I have used this company in past, always with good results...
