No, but I was going to order them soon. What type of problem are you having?

Well that sucks, the picture of the ones you ordered shows them on a dyna. I may have to do some more research before buying.

Or you could go with these:

Same size as the rigid mount ones. You could probably just exchange them.

Yeah these are the same size, but with a buckle. So I'm assuming they will fit.

I emailed Saddlemen and they said the teardrop universal fit (20" length) would fit the FXDB. They do not. I called Saddlemen, and they said they strongly recommend the bracket mounts which require moving the turn sigs. They said they only bag they recommend of there's without removing the turn sigs are the large slant...express series. told the guy that is some bad advertising IMO. Picture is of a dyna and on the website they claim you will not need to relocate.

The relocation is VERY simple and allows for much larger bags. See if they sell the kit and bust their chops about getting it to you at cost, or free shipping. That kinda thing. But if you otherwise like the bags, just move them.
