Go check out the bag lids on the 17 models before you spend money, I like mine.

 

Why not just get the Brukus kit which will work with your bags.

I'll add that I don't know if there are cheaper ways or not, never really considered doing this myself.

 

I was hoping to retrofit the HD hardware to my older bags

 

Just put the '14 bags on your bike.

 

This has been discussed many times since those bikes came out. If anyone has successfully retrofitted those latches to older bags they are keeping quiet about it! The two solutions have already been mentioned above, either buy the latest bags and fit them, or buy aftermarket latches.

 

As mentioned in other threads on this topic, best to get the entire set.

 

I'm not changing bags after I just spent $2500 for paint work. See my delima?

 

Sweet looking bike. I'd just leave it alone. The flush handles aren't all that to me.

 

Yeah, screw them latches, that paint job is awesome!
