I just added bags to my Nightster for a trip I made this past weekend. I wanted to be able to bring my laptop home without having to wear a backpack. More pictuers in my album.

 

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?

 

Dameon, what kind of seat is that? do you like it? Where did you get it?

 

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.

 

Here are a couple of pictures of the inside.
