Brother the brakets with the grommets you're talking about go the other way around 🤦bah at least you had them fitted

Man those are sick-looking I've got a 2010 Heritage Softail I've been thinking about putting hard bags on mine I believe that's the way I'm going to go

Liked your talk through on fitting the bags, I’m hopefully getting mine this week, I’m in England and ordered them from Germany as they were a much better price. Thanks for the information, it’ll be useful.

We also had to drill out the mounting frame holes just a bit for the strut bolts.

i bought the same bags. The paint matched almost perfectly, but my issue was the rear of teh bags interferred with the tail lights.

I think I read something about T- lites on certain models. One thing I forgot to mention in my review was we had to drill the holes on the bag frames a little bigger.

That's because the rubber grommet goes inside the hardbag hole

Yes there are rubber grommets in the Hardbag holes but you are going to have to do a little fabricating to make them work.

To make the bags work is what I meant. Like drilling out the frame bracket holes. I added several washers on each side to make a tight fit.

I think those rubber grommets go on the bags where the bolt go slides thru, instead of attaching them to the frame. other utubers show the install. I'm getting these for my 99 fatboy. the only thing I don't like is how far out the bags sit, but hey,, you can't notice it from an airplane🤣

We had to drill out the holes in the frames that came with the bags so the frame bolts would slide thru.. I also had to put a cpl more washers where the bag attaches to the U shaped brackets to make the bags fit more snug. Once you get them adjusted to your bike they're great.

I haven't had a chance because I had a back surgery last July and can't ride yet. I've gone around the block a few times. The bags are pretty solid.

Do you have the link from EBay?
@chuxxk794 ай бұрын
No link but just put in search for Harley Davidson Hard bags and lots will pop up.

Those rubber gromit go in the hole in the bag.

You will need a few extra grommets and some washers. Every bike is a little different. On mine the chrome axle covers were close to rubbing the bag. The washers solved that. Good luck.

Fyi tho grommet goes in the plastic hole in the bag

The cheaper bags for around 250 are different from Harley bags because of the U shaped mount where they attach to the struts where as my old 79 FLH I could have the bags off in a minute These have the pins behind the U shaped mounts. They are ok but in my case as in the 2nd video I had better luck with a larger washer on both sides and a small piece of rubber hose cut like a grommet with like I said larger metal washers and a rubber washer on each side as well because of vibration. Thanks for your input. They aren't perfect but are holding up well so far.

I'm about to install these. No instructions of course. I'm pretty sure u are right. Was trying to figure it out!

@peterphillips4373 With bag liners that came with my bags if I remember some of the hardware wasn't long enough to install the inserts. I just put them in the bags. I may glue them in at some point but they are fine. Nobody can see them
