Default Will newer saddle bags fit older ultra classics?
I was considering putting the newer saddle bags on my ‘11 ultra classic and wanted to know could I get newer saddle bags ( 2014+ ) to fit without to much $$$ and hassle? Thanks.

Does your bike have saddlebag rails? Newer bags are larger, may not fit with saddlebag rails.

It basically involves just re-adjusting the front mounting brackets position. There's beacoup info on it here. Just use the Search Function.

tried using the search function and all I found was this thread. Do you know if they’ll work if I have saddle bag rails?
