What bags are those? They look good and like they would hold quite a bit of stuff. Also, what brackets are you using? Thay work okay without moving the rear turn lights?

BOO67, here is the link to the bags i have on my nightster.

Honestly, I was a little dissapointed at first but for the price I decided to experiment.
I made a template of the inside of the bag from some cardboard and i transfered it to some 1/8" fiberboard I had lying around.
next, I held the cardboard next to the bike and located some mounting points and eyeballed the locations on to the cardbord then to the 1/8" fiberboard, layed the drilled fiberboard on to the back of the bags and drilled thru the leather. reverse the board and do oppisite side. I have four mounting points (8 holes drilled) on each side.
I am using 14" black tyewraps to mount to bike and bag. install all the tyewraps but do not tighten all the way, just snug one a little move to the next one so you get an even pressure.
I know its a little vague, I will try to get a picture of what the inside looks like tomorrow evening.

Bags are from www.houseofleather.com. They look better mounted forward of the shocks so that's where I put them.
what model bag did you get (TOURMASTER SLANT PLAIN SADDLEBAGS)
? that actually looks very slick . any better photos and input on how well they fit or issues would be nice as well.
