Depends on your exhaust system & bike.
They make kits for hard bags on softails just make sure you read the fine print.
They also make/sell leather wrapped hard bags that will fit.
I and looking for hard bags because the leather ones I currently have will not last with all the rain we have.
They even make the old school styled ones that will bolt on.
I am waffling towards them, even though I would prefer the larger capacity of the newer styled ones.

I really like these from Viking, but On my Breakout and I believe most Softails, you have to relocate the tail lights. I am not willing to do this for something that will rarely be on the bike. https://www.vikingbags.com/harley-so...ard-saddlebags

Apologies for the necro thread but didn’t wanna create a new one. What kit is out there to mount touring bags on the softails? I’ve found one on amazon for $40ish but not sure if that’s the correct one.

There are now many Chinese knock off kits on ebay and Amazon for mounts and bags for less than $ 300 but be careful some are not a sturdy, many of them dont have the extra brace at the rear that ties the 2 sides together like these for $ 49 https://www.ebay.com/itm/Saddlebag-S...cacb7ea98ba443
or these with bags https://www.ebay.com/itm/Painted-Sad....c100005.m1851
