I would love to get 2 old 'damaged' rear fenders, turn them into hardbags. And flush mount them to the fenders

Boy , that's a can of worms. Getting bags to look right on this bike can really take some engineering. There is a forum member who has mounted his bags on the fenders, I have pix of his bike but can't remember who it was , maybe Old Drifter? Anyways here is pix of his bags and also pix of the brackets I made for mine that hang off the back seat. My bag hangers match the contour of the fender but my bags don't. Don't know if this helps or not.

Yeah, maybe... but that solution would lead to have everything shaken inside the bags, because of the rear fender bouncin'!

Has anyone tried instead of the hanging Bracket for hardbags.  Mounting then on the fender 'crashbar" and attaching the tops directly to the fenders?  I think done cleanly they would flow with the bikes lines better.
