I didn't find the ones for touring bikes. The only ones I found said they were for Sportsters

I don’t think any dealer has stock yet. I ordered a set for my street glide and they told me they are on back order at warehouse till the 31st of aug. we should see them after that I would think.

For the price...there are many fantastic options without the HD upcharge. Virtually any other set are
several hundred less,, have a ton of time and research in to working. And you typically have direct access to someone that knows how to make them work. Not just a parts counter salesperson. That's my take anyways.

Very cool that they're offering that, with the "flashy" brackets too so you can show off the reservoirs.

You don't have to mount them like that. I have the Ohlins 044s, and I have my reservoirs mounted down on the saddle bag bracket, you can't see them.

i've heard from some that say that with the cost of the brackets, the se kit is actually a competitive price. now, if you don't want the brackets and are willing to figure out another way to mount them.....
