here is one on ebay link it also gives you a 3 inch lift on the bars so watch the cable lengths on the front brake

I can see all the lights fine and there is no restriction of view and yes I have the same tank

beautiful bike!! I’m searching for lights and mounts like this for my 17 Superlow 1200T…where did you find them? How are they mounted??

What hard bags can I add for a 17 model 1200C? I'm liking the hard bag look and I want to convert to that style. Are the 1200C models pretty much all the same ?

I had a 2007 XL1200L, but added Viking bags. I did have to rig my own mounts though.



This was its last wash job before I sold it, to buy my Ultra Classic.

Just an option...try looking at Tsukaya Hard Saddlebags for Sportsters.
http://www.tsukayu.com/HardbagsforSportster.html

The thing I liked about this was it came with quick-release mounting brackets, has interior carpeting, locks, and rear LED lights that I used as RBT in addition to my turn signals/tail light. I bought the bags primed and used my own painter to color-match my bike. BensonUK's bags are the same.

Those were nice bags, but are very pricey.

$629 + $128 shipping is not all that bad compared to HD Hard Saddlebags prices.,...even better if you can paint yourself. i paid $400 locally to color match paint HD merlo sunglo with pinstriping.

I paid a lot more for these HD Saddlebags and OE mounting brackets.

Unfortunately for Sportsters, not many options if you want hard bags.

Yea the viking bags worked pretty well for one 3 day trip I took with the sporty, except for the 2 times one lid popped open when I THOUGHT it was locked. The bags were crammed pretty full though, so can't really blame the bags.
