Default Older Style Saddlebag Mounting Brackets/Rails

Anyone know if the older (09-13) style saddlebag mounting brackets/rails will fit and bolt up to 2014+ frames? I know the larger 1-piece saddlebag support rails will need to be removed on the newer models but curious if anyone has done this and/or the necessary holes are there for the upper mounts since the lower one is in approximately the same spot. Thx!

Just curious, why would you?

Don't they make bag support rails made to fit the Rushmore bikes?

They do, they’re the ones with the large cutout in the middle that most install lights/turn signals into…however I’m looking at installing the FXR Division fender (chopped/Dyna-ish looking one)as well as their side rear frame covers along with the Nasty Hog chopped saddlebags so running the stock ones with said large cutout isn’t possible. This would be the easiest/cleanest way in my opinion but I don’t have the bike yet to test/try out and was hoping someone had already to give me an idea how this will work.
