Most likely the frame too where the crash guard attaches. Please get it checked thouroughly.

The outer fairing, inner fairing, front fender, rear facia, primary cover, derby cover, right upper switch housing, left upper switch housing, front brake reservoir cover, clutch and brake levers, mirrors, strut covers, upper fork covers, fork sliders, handlebar, engine guard, D&D Fat Cat muffler, and saddlebags were all damaged. It was a low speed crash and there was no frame damage. The bike flipped becasue the tires and engine guard dug into some soft soil. I know it's crazy, but I'm thinking of fixing the bike myself. With this amount of damage I'll get three insurance points if I file and that will raise my NC vehicle insurance rates by 65%, plus I'll have to pay the $500 deductable.

I went down off a hwy exit ramp entering a rotary was going a little too fast locked up the rear and the bike high sided me and sent me *** over tea kettle fortunately i landed on grass and rolled about 30 feet. The bike (95 FLHTP) slid and the engine guard took a hit the curb bending right to the shift lever. had to replace the left bag, bag rails, engine guard, left turn signal front, had a small ding on the front fender. Picked it up and drove it home. Not a mark on me but man I was sore for a week. Scrounging parts off Craigslist got real lucky on the bags $300 for the pair he threw in the rails and they were in better shape than mine before the impact. Cost me less than $1000 and left the ding in the front fender as a reminder to slow the F**K down. Humbling experience good luck with the repairs and safe riding.

Both saddlebags are toast. Can someone provide me with the Harley part number for complete right and left FLHX saddlebags in vivid black?

Much thanks!

There is a guy that has a set for sales on the touring forum. Might PM the guy.
