Their are new aftermarket rushmore style bags for sale on ebay. If they'd fit your bike I get them. $378 shipped. Will rushmore bags fit older bikes?

And you will not be able to open the bags as you can on 14+ lids. It is however an added security measure. There are various lock configurations available as well as locations. I myself am owning up to the fact that my lock location was not ideal but it is what it is and was my decision without the bags on the bike as it was in rebuild at the time. Something to carefully consider should a person choose to go this route.

Well be embarrassed if you will. I am by no means a rep but have a number of their items. Granted this is not the best but it is an improvement of sorts. To call them a turd speaks volumes about your character. Tell us what Harley security modifications you have come up with gipper? Speaking of turds, pretty crappy (lol) username you have there.

Brukus has come up with some fairly innovative stuff. In fact I have been a customer. This specific piece is innovative, but it's an innovative piece of turd.
Remember the Ford Capri? I happen to love Ford product, but that production was a turd, and I called it that when it was released. There's a reason that Ford doesn't make the Capri any longer....they saw it that it was a turd too; not from an aesthetic perspective but from a profit perspective, which was the result of the public telling them that it was a turd.
You get where I am going here, I'm sure.
I didn't call you a turd, I called this conversion kit from Brukus a turd, and I stand by that. If you like putting turds on your bike, good on you. Enjoy. It's still a turd however, and I'll pass. I wish you and Brukus well though, it's an otherwise pretty good company.

Ditto! A turd is a turd and you know what a turd is when you see one.

I've read somewhere here that if you elongate one of the mounting holes, they mount up to 2013 and under bikes. I have them on my 2014 and if I ever have to get a non Rushmore bike it would be the first mod I do. They are awesome! I can pick something out of my saddlebag at a light with two fingers!
