I just installed them on my 02 Fatboy thanks to this video but I'm worried about my exhaust...have you had any issues?

I added these to my 2004 Fatboy and I ended up using the saddlebags BUT I replaced the frames with those from California Cycle Works, what they call their Bagger tail conversion. The biggest difference is that the left and right saddlebag frames connect to each other via a crossover that goes inside and under the rear fender. Basically the frames come in two pieces for each side and they bolt together together with the crossover support (which keeps the saddlebags from bouncing around) with two bolts on each side. Like Mama Badger’s bike I installed an all in one taillight and turn signal unit but I paid $240 for the one from Custom Dynamics which is all LED and still allows you to connect external turn signals if you want them as I am going with the Harley style saddlebag turn signals once I have the bags panted to match the 2004 smoky gold and vivid black factory paint scheme on the bike.

This is probably the best video I’ve found. Thank you so much. I do have a question though. I have an extra for bolts and it looks like it has a couple spacers on them. Where does that go?

not sure I don't remember mine having and extra bolts as long as you have the 3 securing the bracket to the bike and the 2 holding the mounting plates for the bags that is all it takes

This was really helpful. I just came in from attempting to install hardbags on my softail. Imagine my surprise when the bags wouldn't fit right because of the turn signal head and post being right in the way. All I could see was an expensive wiring nightmare. But I like this solution. Thamx brother man!

Just and FYI....if you don't mind doing a little fabricating and are handy with a welder, these brackets and bags will work with pretty much any bike. I have the same set up on my Honda VTX and the look factory. Had to move some of the tabs (aka cut and reweld) around a little, but it really wasn't a lot of drama. Great, cheap way to get a set of quality hard bags on any bike.

@TheBadgers

2 жыл бұрын

Never owned an Ultra Classic have ridden a bunch since I worked at a Harley Dealership for a few years. It really depends on the application since my wife rides her own and we don't do long distance 2 up the fatboy is perfect. It is lighter, way more agile and if you like to travel there is no telling where you might end up, or the situations you may face, so the lighter bike is way better for us. If riding 2 up you can't beat the ultra for comfort for the passenger.

I had to drill another hole in the right side bag. The brackets wouldn't line up and then if I pushed it thru there was so much tension from it not being straight it popped the spring clips off. They look pretty good on the bike but what a pain in the butt.
