Saddlebag swap

I have an 05 Road King Classic and Im thinking about chaging over from leather saddlebags to hard saddlebags.I found a set of police bags that i could get at a good price. my qestion is...will they mount right up or will I need to make some changes? If i do have to make changes what will it be?

Only change that I had to make was to take the spacer out of the front mounting bracket and they went right on.

I picked up a set of hard bags from a local swap meet...excellent shape, just needed a new coat of paint. got them home and tried them on before sending out for painting and they went right on, no major issues. should have them back in another day or so.

My bags are from calvary the center line of the holes are off by a small amount, I just had to roll the front clip back a fraction and they line up fine. There is quite a bit of adjustment to reposition.
