I went with the Craftride QR Detachable brackets.
Sorry to intrude on this thread but, do they make these for the Fat Boy?
I'm looking for something like this. I'm looking for something that quick detatches and that I can still use my hold fast sissy bars with.

Apart from the Craftride ones (linked above by NZLowrider), I have these on my Fat Boy - H-D Easy Quick Saddlebag Brackets Set which are also lockable.
These allow you to add larger saddlebags but you may need to relocate, or get smaller, 3-1 indicators.

Fitted the Oberon Performance brake and clutch levers.
I had to put them both to position 1 for my OH to feel comfortable.


Brake seems fine for her but the clutch still needs some strength to pull in so next up will be fitting a Muller Power Clutch.

Also fitted one of the saddlebags.

She likes black and studs.
So, at some point, I'm going to put some studs around the seats.

Any pics of the passenger pegs on the bike in the up position? Not sure but assume the back of them is similar to the rider pegs…kind of unfinished looking on the back. The rider pegs stay down so the back is never seen but the passenger pegs stay up mist of the time and the backs are always seen.

You're absolutely right ...the back (under-side) of the pegs are "unfinished"

Does your wife carry passengers? Why not just remove them. The whole passenger setup was the first thing to go on my wife's '22 FXBBS.
