Default Saddlebag Guard Kit Installation for 2011 FLHX

I want to install this Comfort Profile Saddlebag Guard Kit (49179-09):

But when comparing it to this Rear Saddlebag Guard Kit (49282-09B)...

...it seems that some parts are missing!


I only want to install the saddlebag guards, not the saddlebag guard rails.

Do I need those black pieces in part # 49282-09B? If so, can they be purchased separately? Are the nuts & bolts included in 49179-09 all that I need?

Thanks for any help, guys.

Clearly stated on H-D.com

"FLHX, FLTR, FLTRU, FLTRX, FLHRSE5, FLHXSE/2/3, FLTRSE3 and FLTRXSE/2 models require separate purchase of Saddlebag Supports P/N 49194-09A and 90781-09A, Nut P/N 7531 (Qty 2) and Antenna Mounting Bracket P/N 76516-09."

the Saddlebag Supports are the "black pieces" that you refer too.

Exactly! Been there - done that. When you look up those part numbers on H-D's web-site or in the OEM Parts Finder on Ronnie's H-D website, you get nothing, nada, zilch!

I'm not a TOTAL fool.

you won't find them as OEM for a street glide .... because they aren't original equipment for a street glide. if you look up OEM parts for, say a, 2009 FLHTC ... there they are. Found them right away on Ronnie's website - $90.90 for each support plus whatever for 2 nuts and antenna bracket

or maybe I don't understand your question - I told you what parts you need to order along with those comfort guards

Ahhh... Okay. NOW, I get it. So, we're looking at about $350, plus shipping, for parts. Geez! I guess I don't need them as badly as I though t I did.

Thanks for the clarification AND the edification, Weavr99FLHT. I appreciate it.

you can sell your saddlebag supports on here or/and flea bay to offset some of the costs -- I always put them on my SG and RG --
