Great post! You did a great job of incorporating your design along with Warg's.

Now how can I get one of these bags on with my saddlebags???

Just a side note here about my stock heritage bags. I attached industrial velcro to the quick release clips and the back side of the straps to keep them from popping out of the buckle and flopping around at higher speeds.

I used a section of an old tag as abacking plate.
nice info thanks. i too am zip ties but the ideal of the strap over them sounds great

Yep, I think tripwire759 did it with his fishtails. Here's the link to his post: https://www.hdforums.com/forum/softa...ml#post6081630

You basically use the same mounting points and drill the holes in the back plate to position the plate up higher.

I have a "How to" on this on my blog (www.chasinwhitelines.blogspot.com) as well.

Yeah that was me that did that. I know all Deluxe's look the same right? As for the mount for duals it was pretty simple. WARG is correct all I did is move it up a few inches to clear the pipe and use the same blet holes that WARG used. Works like a champ! Here is the link.

WARG, You edited on me as I was posting... Again thanks for doing those holes first.
