Default Any 06 and up Dyna w/saddlebags running Fatcats?

The 06 and up Fatcats sweep up in the back. Anyone running them with saddlebags have a clearance issue?
TIA

Hmm, softies sweep up, but dynas are pretty even with the road surface, at least mine is. So, no issues here!

I am going to give it a whirl...they come up a little, it's in their description. When I called they said people were complaining of dragging the pipe on turns. If you compare the 05 and below [ic to the 06 and above you will see what I mean.

BTW how do you like your Fatcat? What baffles did you get?

Thanks

I don't think it's really swept up, just raised higher overall, at least by the pic. And yes, I can see why people were dragging parts before. I personally haven't, but maybe I'm just a wuss!

My moco bags don't have issues at all, so go for it!

I LOVE the fatcat! I went with the standard baffle as I have the 107". If you stay stock, the standard or quiet would be fine, while the quiet would give you a little more torque I've heard.

As to sound, it's not too loud at all if easy on the gas. But, if you whack it good, it barks but good too! I like it just fine!

It depends on what length shocks your Dyna has if it has a upsweep or not.

12.5 inch or longer it will have a upsweep

12 inch it will run pretty parrallel with the swing arm

Shorter than 12 then it starts a down sweep.

Thanks all.
Yeah we need a "Cash For Dynas" program so I can get these ordered.

07 Wide Glide with D&D Fatcat and Leatherneck Jim's saddle bags. No problems... Except not enough room when going on very long rides....
