I'm not sure about the saddle bags, but pictures would be helpful.

I leave my 08 Fatboy in the garage (not heated) all Winter, and the battery is still good when I start it up in the Spring. I'll start it up for a few minutes every few weeks just to move the oil back to the top of the engine and keep everything lubricated.

Welcome to the forum & congrats on the new bike. Have fun, Ride Safe
Ask the same question in the Tech area, and you will get more answers

I don,t think you can use the bags but LMK if you get them to work or not.

You can also get a small battery charger, some call it a tickler ,this will emit a small charge to keep the battery up over the winter.
