Does anyone have saddlebags from Saddlemen on their sporty? I am looking at possibly getting the Quick disconnect Drifter Style but have not been able to find much info on them or pictures for that matter. I already have the turn signal relocation done on my bike so that is not my concern. I am more worried about the fact that these do not have the "shock cut out" and how far they will stick out the side of the bike. If anyone has this style of rigid mount bag on their bike could you please post pics, especialy from the rear or top view of the space between the bike and bag. What are your thoughts on them, would you recomend them or something else for around the same price range ($350-500 all hardware included). Thanks in advance for any help on this matter.

 

Get the shock cut-outs. The bags are bigger in person than they look online, and the cutouts keep the bike looking lean. Here's mine:











I used the existing side rail/fender bolts with some large washers to attach the bags to the bike. The belt guard and shocks keep the bags from getting tangled in anything.

 

Thanks for posting the pics, the bags look good. Ive been doing some more research and I think im going to go with Fox Creek's Classic Sportster Bags with the zip off yoke.
