Does HD make hardware for detachable saddlebags that can be used with their detachable sissybar? I bought throw over bags but they just don't look or fit right. Thanks

 

Not sure about Harley but aftermarket does. EZ Brackets for one.

 

I have the detachable bags and the detachable sissybar. What do you mean when you say "can be used with their detachable sissybar"? What do you need to know about 'em?

 

Does it look like the bags will keep their shape after a period of time and how are they after they have gotten wet?

 

Mine have been soaked to hell and back ... but I always treat my leather with mink oil and black shoe polish. So they're super-duper waterproof. And they hold their shape well cuz the inside (side near the bike) is high-impact plastic of some kind. Very sturdy ... can't sag like our old soft bags did after a few years. Me likee.

 

I have http://www.bossbags.com/dyna.htmlon my 04 Dyna. I have rigid sideplates, but they can be used with either, come with both mounting hardware.

Here is a picture of the bags on my bike.

 

The saddlebag mounting bolts are longer than the standard bolt that's in there now to accomodate the mounting ring. Pretty simple. Easy Brackets will specify which one. Gott'm & love'm.

I should add that these used to be throw-overs. All you have to do is cut off the yoke close to the bag and add the EZ brackets

 

I second the boss bags, have a set and they are great bags.

 

Snakum: Do you have detachable bags andbackrest that can be used at the same time on the same pins. I have the detachable backrest now and would like to add bags that I can also remove when just cruising around town.
