I think those bags look the best and the ones for the twin shock dynas they make a bag with shock indentation so the bags hug tight to the frame which solid me

2020 Low Rider S here, excellent video bro. Looking forward to getting a set for my bike. Glad to hear my Holdfast Sissybar quick detach will still work.

These are wonderful bags. I had recently purchased the new Viking Overlord bags for my 2020 FXLR, however there are velcro and unpreferred when opening. I am moving to these in place of as these have clean lines and very nice opening size. I appreciate the video. Happy Riding and Thanks.

My first bike was an early 1979 HD Low Rider, 74 cubic inch, silver with black trim, drag bars. Since that time I've owned 3 more HD's, each time moving to larger touring bikes. I'm 67 years old now and am tired wrestling with tour bikes. You don't pull a tour bike out of the garage just to make a short run to Starbucks as it is too much trouble. Your current Low Rider, silver with Street Slammer bars, has really fueled my desire to return to simpler times that I so enjoyed with cruisers. Thanks for the videos...and the inspiration.

That's the reason I went with the Deluxe. Simple, clean and a joy to ride on short trips or long.

I did the same thing, I got tired of wrestling a 900lb bike just to ride around town so I got a 2006 superglide and loving it, just need some Viking bags now

@rolfwittwer5871 3 жыл бұрын

I've had the shock cutout version of these bags on my Dyna Lowrider. I concur with the comments. They offer great capacity, they are strong, well made and they look good. Fitting took a while because I was determined to get the position right. Measure twice (or in my case about 10 times) and drill once. On the Dyna, wobbling of the lids with engine vibration wore through the rubber seal after only 9000 km. The plan is to eliminate the shaking with the counterbalanced 2020 Lowrider S and fit new Viking Lamellar Hard Bags! I prefer the way these bags open to the Sport Glide bags and they are way better priced. While tempted to go for one of the larger Viking Hard bags, the size of the Lamellar bags suited me just fine on the Dyna, so why change? Probably leather wrap on the new ones, because it took me no time at all to damage the finish on the painted bags.

@nklam247 Жыл бұрын

Sweet bags. The only thing I would do to make it more secure is fabricate a piece of metal bar across to the top two screws and another piece for the bottom screws instead of the washers. This will help stiffen the bags. Hopefully this is helpful.

Curious if the bags will work with a cobra detachable backrest. Nice relaxing videos you put out. Keep up the good work.

@KSSTUDIOS 4 жыл бұрын

If the backrest attaches to the same bolt locations there's a good chance it would fit with longer bolts. The Harley Hold-Fast docking system will work with this kit. I left mine off this time purely for looks.

Get some fender washers to put on the inside of the bag, if already done disregard. Will take wobble out. Have a good day. Will be putting these on my 2022 Street Bob 114.

I got the 19 lowrider I done the turn signal relocation kit from Harley Davidson myself took about an hour, now I bought some Viking saddle bags, the instructors are crude, they are nice bags, but I just can’t seem to mount mine with the Harley-Davidson quick detachment sissy bar! I wanted throw over but it don’t look like I can get it to work!

@KSSTUDIOS 3 жыл бұрын

Yeah, those instructions aren't good. The bolts that come with the bags might not work for your particular install. You might need to customize the mounting hardware to get a good fit.

@KSSTUDIOS 4 жыл бұрын

If I did this again I would lower them about 1-1/2 to 2 inches. I was afraid to get too close to the exhaust, but ended up leaving too large of a gap. Once you drill the holes out it's tough to adjust the position. Good luck with the install 👍

When u do rear signal relocation did u have to extend cable and drill a holes

@ronthibeau2862 4 жыл бұрын

I currently have a 2008 dyna low rider. It came with detachable bags and sissy bar. I find there is way to much rattling . How are these bags for rattling and storage capacity. And can you still install sissy bar

@KSSTUDIOS 4 жыл бұрын

I haven't noticed any rattling with these bags so far. I didn't install the quick detach kit that Viking Bags offers, so they're currently hard-mounted which probably helps with the stability. The capacity is good, but I've already stuffed them full on a few trips to the grocery store. I could definitely still do a sissy bar with these on since they use the same screw holes on the fender that many of the sissy bars for this model mount with. I would just have to swap the mounting screws for slightly longer ones.

@tltate 3 жыл бұрын

With the bags installed can you still add a sissy bar or backrest for a third bag?

@KSSTUDIOS 3 жыл бұрын

Yes, these bags still allow the Harley docking system bolts to be installed and probably many other sissy bar mounting options.

I hope they work out better for you than they did for my 2014 Dyna Low Rider. I had to purchase wider spacers then came with the bags and they were still hit by the axle nut. Even after I got that resolved, the hinges and tiny screws started to come loose off the bags. Viking was the worst company I've ever dealt with. In the end, garbage bags and garbage company. It was a happy day when I took them off my bike and threw them in the trash! Your bike is beautiful otherwise, here's wishing you lots of happy miles.

All you needed to do was cover the entire backs of the bags with painters tape. Make your marks and measure them to the nearest whole amount, if you set your bike up level then you can cut up som 2x4'and get it sitting exact. Mark n drill your holes and then transfer those marks to the other bag.
