Default Hard saddles for a heritage???

Just been wonderin if anyone out there has ever seen or knows of anyone who put hard saddles on a heritage, My bags are already starting to sag, and before I start with the support kits for my leathers I thought I would look into other options. Does anyone know of anyone who manufactures these?

I looked at those, I was acctually seeing if there was anything that resembled road king HARD storage that mounts on a heritage. I dont think the Road king sides would fit without some work, something that is manufactured for the heritage.

Then it would be a Heriglide or something like that. Yea, there's hard bags out there for you if you want some. Harley even makes some I think. No studs though

I sent mine out to Bossbags and had the stiffeners and locks installed. Lot of happy gotsaggybags customers here also.

I seem to recall a kit (I think in Dennis Kirk) that was a mounting kit for Fatboys that would allow the use of OEM HD hard bags. I can't remember if it was just for Fatboys, or could work with softtails in general. If it does you could get that kit and get a set of bags off of Ebay or something, and be good to roll.

If you find a mounting kit for HD OEM hard bags, PM me. My buddy bought a '09 RKC and did not like the leather hard bags so he bought the hard painted ones. His leather hard bags have never seen the light of day. I believe he wants $700 or $750 for them.
