saddlebags Brackets Help me with my Harley saddlebags please!?
I purchased stock Heritage bags for my 94 at a good price. I then found the mounting brackets. All I needed was the bolts and grommets. I went to a local HD dealer and they wanted over $20 for EACH bolt! It was going to cost me more for bolts and nuts than I spent on the bags! I intend to use the factory brackets and bags and just get some bolts from a hardware store. I need some idea of measurements though. How far from the fender does the brackets set? I know there is a spacer of some sort to put them away, but I'm not sure how far to do that. Any help or advice would be welcomed! Thanks
My advice. Don't skimp on the docking hardware. Do you want them to be rigid or detachable? if they are going to be rigid mounted then great, you can use ugly hardware hardware and it will be hidden just get the right grade of bolt. grade 8 oh and by the way every bike is a little bit different on bolt length because of sissy bars, turn signal relocation kits, etc... so your going to have to get down there and measure or get a bolt that is too long and cut it down as you need. remember you will have to use nuts on the inside of the fender. The best choice is go back to your dealer or go on line to "cycle visions" and look at there bare back kits. It is a detachable kit, and they work great. they are expensive but then again what did you pay for the bike?
