Default Softail Slim Hard Bags????

Can someone help me out? I want hard bags on my slim but cant find a kit that will work. I see pictures of this being done but cant find anything that will work without losing rear foot pegs. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

If one option is to remove the pegs, kuryakyn has peg mounts for where your fender struts bolt on. I use those on my breakout because my wife couldn't comfortably reach the stock pegs. Also because my hard bag setup needed those mounting posts. Something to consider anyway

Don't know of any, the best option I know of is the leatherpros bags. The are leather over abs, so, very rigid.

That's for a standard softail with different struts, and bolt spacing. Also, would look goofy as hell with a chopped fender. In my opinion..

A Slim S with hard bags, it does not compute. WTF is going on? I'd like to see that when you get it done. My mind is getting old, not dissin your choice, just cant fathom it.

I just ordered some hard bags for my '16 Deluxe, from Tsukayu. Don't know what they have for your bike, but lots of options (both universal mount and bike specific).
