HogDeluxe Saddlebags - Initial Impression
#11
I really like how they hug the rear fender from behind. Some bags just stick out way too far. Like the idea of lowering them to fill the gap. I went with Tsukayu bags on a metric I had once and had to mount the bracket myself. They ended up fitting the contour of the fender perfectly. Update with pics once you have them lowered.

Bags are coming off tonight and I'll hopefully have them done by tomorrow. I'll post some after pics.
Again, they're great bags and I'd recommend them to anyone thinking about them. I think they're just the right size, though I wouldn't mind if the were taller by an inch or two. And the price is great, also, especially when comparing them to similar bags like Boss Bags or Iron Bags.

Unless your ride is lowered to the point of being a hard tail it looks like you are going to be hitting the axle nuts for sure. I would definately lower them but not to the point of hitting the axle. You may need to space them out some.
When I first got my Deluxe in 06 I had this same problem. I ordered some aftermarket bags and they were way to high, looked out of place and I returned them. I ended up with the Harley Deluxe bags and I never really liked the shape of those bags either. I sold those and now run no bags on it. If I ever get another set, it will definately be the 2003 Heritage Springer bags. They sit low and have a great shape.
