Would like to remove the hard saddlebags on my 2009 FLHP to observe where I'm going to rout wires for an LED insert. Haven't been able to find a link for instructions on removal. Have searched here but nothing comes up. Would appreciate the help. Thanks in advance. Oh, don't have a manual as I don't plan on doing much servicing on my own.
After breaking 2 of them I have removed the HD kit and use these items: Washers, Clevis Pin and Hitch Pin, for a strong, quick release option. Also good because you can't remove the bags with a common screwdriver, unlike the stock kit. Good luck with your project OP.
O.P. has a cop bike. Fastening system may be different than all the civvie answers already given.
I'm sure someone with similar bike will chime in soon but a call to your nearest H-D dealer should get the answer.
Cop bike is still 2 pins each........
I have only owned this since June and have removed 20 times for one reason or another.........get used to it.....hehe.
