Yeah, all the hardware ain't cheap. A set of locks alone keyed to the bike is going to cost you 50 bucks. And somewhere between $250 and $350 for the rest. And then there is paint. I found a set on CL complete for $400 and then had them painted.

As others have said - they should fit.
$200 seems to be the average going price for take off bags with out the lids or hardware these days. I found a set on Ebay with the hardware and lids for $450 back in January and painted them to match ... if you shop around you can find much better deals.

Bags can be found new from aftermarket sources like Matazu and Fairing Factory for 275-300 in vivid black.

The hardware (latches, hinges, brackets) is the pricey part new 275-450. its usually a lot less to buy on CL or EBay complete

You must know someone else who has hard bags on a touring bike. Just look at them and decide for yourself how complicated it is. You might decide that it is very simple. You shouldn't have any issues. Be confident. I've seen lots of HD mechanics that weren't that impressive, way short of genius.
Ride on.
