Preps for my French Alp Tours (August 16-27, 4200km) are in the final stage!

Bought a set of FXDP hardbags some time ago from Ebay and mounted them today on my 2003 FXD in order to be able to carry some luggage on this 12 days bike trip.

Here's how it looks :
















Right hand side mounting doesn't fit properly so tomorrow I'm going to make an adapter to make it fit to the passenger footrest support bracket..

 

looks good

 

great set up

Enjoy your trip ... looks like you're 'good to go' ...

BTW are those hardbags or panniers ...?

Thanks, guys.

It took about 2 years to get all the necessary parts; some were found at Ebay (hardbags, saddlebag guards, rear fender bracket and left hand side passenger support bracket), bolts and nuts were ordered at LSHD1.com.

To have some more clearance on the rear fender-rear tire I´m gonna mount FXDP rear shocks as well which raise the rear fender for about an inch.

 

Looks good. I think you'll be able to haul all you need for the trip.

 

Once again showing the utilitarian advantages of the Dyna's. I almost feel bad for the Touring guys.

 

Thanks, Todd!

As soon as I have crossed the French border, the bags will become "paniers"

During this trip I will try to get online now and then and post my adventures over here:

IMO we could say that the Dyna is the mother of all Harley's...

 

Well done, looks good
