Those bags look great!.  They really give a vintage look to the bike.

Here are some pics of the saddlebag upgrade.

Pic 1 shows the size difference between the Osprey bags and the Harley bags I am using.
Second pic shows original bracket that was on the bike with the Osprey bags when I purchased it.

I had to remove the taillight and signal lights as the pics show. Tomorrow I begin the signal light relocate...

Well, (finally) got started on this project; right bag mounted, left bag will be mounted today; I'll post pics tonight. Then comes the new signal light mounts. Incidentally, this mod is going to require extending the pipes by about 3" to get them out from under the bags; oh well, get to make those too!

Regards and such;

I am in the process of mounting a set of (old) leather saddlebags from a 1981 Harley Electra Glide; this was the first non-AM F Harley off the assembly line. They were a limited edition (784 built). The bags are in rough condition but will clean up; it looks like the biggest issue will be relocating the signal lights about 2-2/12" back from stock. I will post pics of the mods and completed project for those interested.

Regards and such,
