Harley Davidson Fatboy Hard Saddlebag Install And Turn Signal Relocation DIY
Vložit
- čas přidán 6. 11. 2021
- Momma Badger wanted new Saddlebags for her 2005 softail Harley Davidson Fatboy Motorcycle, after looking around for a while we found these Hard Bags and Mounting Brackets amzn.to/2ZKhXvd you can get them with chrome or black handles and brackets.
When adding these bags or most any bags to a softail you must relocate the turning signals, we removed the factory turn signals and installed and all in one tail light. amzn.to/3FLQmMg

Nice upgrade w/ those hard bags. I imagine y'all are gonna love em
So far we really do like them, and as much as we travel should be a big help.
@@TheBadgers what are they?
@@randygrimes78 the bags?
I just installed them on my 02 Fatboy thanks to this video but I'm worried about my exhaust...have you had any issues?
I added these to my 2004 Fatboy and I ended up using the saddlebags BUT I replaced the frames with those from California Cycle Works, what they call their Bagger tail conversion. The biggest difference is that the left and right saddlebag frames connect to each other via a crossover that goes inside and under the rear fender. Basically the frames come in two pieces for each side and they bolt together together with the crossover support (which keeps the saddlebags from bouncing around) with two bolts on each side. Like Mama Badger’s bike I installed an all in one taillight and turn signal unit but I paid $240 for the one from Custom Dynamics which is all LED and still allows you to connect external turn signals if you want them as I am going with the Harley style saddlebag turn signals once I have the bags panted to match the 2004 smoky gold and vivid black factory paint scheme on the bike.
Awesome sounds like you found a way to get exactly what you wanted for your bike. Thanks for watching
The bags look great and what a convenience. Nice job on the install and the turn signal lights are much bigger and brighter. Great video🤘🤙
Thanks man, we are liking the convenience of them for sure, the new light assembly has worked great. Thanks for Watching
Seen those hard bags back in August advertised...now that I've seen them here...I'll be getting them for my 99 Heritage Classic Evo...
Love the old evo so far I really like them. I did link them in the video if you're interested in buying them. Thanks for Watching, and if you haven't subscribed yet please do.
Love the hard bags on the softails, I bought the same bags and they are on my ‘07 heritage, you will not be disappointed with the price.
Awesome so far so good thanks for watching
This was really helpful. I just came in from attempting to install hardbags on my softail. Imagine my surprise when the bags wouldn't fit right because of the turn signal head and post being right in the way. All I could see was an expensive wiring nightmare. But I like this solution. Thamx brother man!
Brooo you saved my ass! I didnt want to get bigger saddlebags cuz turn signal relocation is such a pain in the ass. But that all in one tail light is such a better option!
I have you guys on Facebook just saw this video helped me out
Awesome glad it helped, thanks for watching
Anybody install these bags on a Fatboy with the detachable backrest and luggage rack? I have 2001 Fatboy with D&D 2 into 1 exhaust.
Yes my silver 2005 cvo fatboy has these bags on it and a quick release backrest with luggage rack
This is probably the best video I’ve found. Thank you so much. I do have a question though. I have an extra for bolts and it looks like it has a couple spacers on them. Where does that go?
not sure I don't remember mine having and extra bolts as long as you have the 3 securing the bracket to the bike and the 2 holding the mounting plates for the bags that is all it takes
Nice video, just did a turn signal relocation to the back of the Klock werks stretched fender on my 21 street bob, was kicking the can on whether to go with heritage bags, or the Amazon handbag's like those. I think you made my mind up lol.
Just and FYI....if you don't mind doing a little fabricating and are handy with a welder, these brackets and bags will work with pretty much any bike. I have the same set up on my Honda VTX and the look factory. Had to move some of the tabs (aka cut and reweld) around a little, but it really wasn't a lot of drama. Great, cheap way to get a set of quality hard bags on any bike.
How did you mount the bracket to the rear pegs. I got the brakets. Just haven't found much on using it for a honda?
@@ernestwolanicki4923 made some brackets out of plate steel and welded them to the existing bracket. Honestly...you'll have to fiddle with them a bit until you find a position you like. I set my bags and down a couple of inches, so they'd still leave plenty of room for the passenger. I narrowed my bag brackets about an inch and a half, to bring the bags in closer to the bike, as well
You can relocate your original turn signals by just taking them apart and mounting just the light section to the swing arm
Thanks for watching!!
Definitely dig the all in one brake and turn signal tail light.
Thanks man it gives it a very clean look. Although this weekend I am adding led strips to the back of the bags for more light.
Who needs destructions?? I mean, Instructions! LOL! Great video and nice looking bags!
Exactly! No one has time for instructions lol. Thanks for watching!!
Thanks for the video! I didn’t know you can buy LED with Signal lights all-in-one. I recently bought a 2014 Fat Boy Lo that came with Saddleman Bags and “penlight” amber turn signals which looks nice but wondered if it can be seen safely from behind.
My wifes bike had the tiny leds and they were really hard to see this Tail Light made a world of difference
I love that one I have it on my 04 Heritage Softail
I did same on my Softail Deluxe when I bagged it out!! Went with a full fairing too!! LOL called it my “ wanna be StreetGlide “
You will love those bags!!!
Its a SoftGlide lol wow you went full on bagger fairing and all. I think with all the riding we do it just makes sense
@@TheBadgers Agree!! It was worth it, got spoiled with a radio haha but ya if you do lots of saddle time it is worth it!!
@@TheBadgers haha love it SoftGlide!
Did you give up your tombstone taillight when you put the bags on?
@@TheVirginiaRealtor I kept the tombstone light!! Looked pretty sweet! There is a video here on my channel and it’s called “Two Chicks riding free” you can see a friend of mine who bagged out her Deluxe! Looks sweet!
Do you think they'd fit with the stock heritage turn signals?
Awesome video and those bags look great on there.
It's a good thing u already ahd the changed out tail light lol. .it was less work for papa badger hehehehe
Lol I still had to change mine out when I put bags on my Fatboy. Pretty simple job and they work great!! Thanks for Watching!!
I have ?. I want to put hard bags on my 2K fatboy. I'm concerned about clearance between the bag and exhaust header. What would be the minimum gap there? I have about 15 inches from top of header to finder bolts. Any ideas? Thank you
I am not sure, I have not had any issues on either of my bikes, if you order the bags from my link, they are from Amazon so you can return them really easy if its and issue
Did you have trouble with the rubber grommets? Putting these on my 13 heritage classic.... there it's a rubber grommet on the bracket rod and also one in the hole in the boxes.... but seems the rod is too short lol my back is sore at this point 🤣🤣
I only run one grommet on mine just the ones in the holes
@@TheBadgers thanks bro
Would those fit an 02 Fatboy? Can't seem to find any aftermarket ones that will! Thx
Yes they will
Great video. How did you fill the existing hole for the old turn signal?
I didn't, they do make chrome hole plugs if you want them. I never even notice that they are missing
what years are the older softails? I've got a 99 fatboy that needs those bags and tail light combo. going to Texas in May leaving from Orlando, Fl. thanks
Those are 2005 Fatboys I think they work with the 99 as well. Click the link in video it should say what models they will work with.
Im thinking about doing this to my 2005 Fatboy. did you have issues with clearance with the mufflers? How did the other bike turn out? Id LOVE to see more pix and vids of how they look. Got a part number ?
There is a link to them in the description of this video, we have used these on both our bikes for over a year now and love them. No issue with the exhaust, just have to relocate the turn signals, and I just used and all in one brake and turn signal. We have a tone of videos on here that probably include the bikes with the bags on them, or go to our facebook The Badgers and The Biker Lifestyle
Great video on the hard bags have a 07 fatboy with basically the same pipes as your bike with the flames. Does the pipes interfere with the bags in anyway
Nope they work perfectly together
Thank you very much and keep up the great work
Where are you clip the bags onto the bike that rubber piece goes into the hole on the bag correct
The brackets have 4 posts on them that go through the back of the bag and mount them to the bike
I'd say the gap is a turn off", but I do love a gap. my kids wouldn't be here if I didnt.
lol I like it fine but hey to each their own
Do the side exhaust pipe still work with the bags?
Yes they do with plenty of clearance
I just put these on my 99 softail. Im wondering how yours are holding up after this last year?
They have been great 25,000 mikes through about every weather condition 2 thumbs up
@@TheBadgers Thank you. for taking the time to respond. How about the factory clips on the post inside the bag. do they ever pop off while riding from vibration? I was thinking of using C-clips or snap rings instead. Would you be willing to upload a photo of how you attatched the brackets. There are no instructions and I was thinking of using different hardware.
Hey im really curious on your opinion of the fatboy? i have an 06 ultra classic and i have a guy willing to trade me his stag 4 fatboy with only 18k miles mind you my ultra classic has 52k miles! Have you had a ultra classic and can you tell me what you enjoyed more! Thank you
Never owned an Ultra Classic have ridden a bunch since I worked at a Harley Dealership for a few years. It really depends on the application since my wife rides her own and we don't do long distance 2 up the fatboy is perfect. It is lighter, way more agile and if you like to travel there is no telling where you might end up, or the situations you may face, so the lighter bike is way better for us. If riding 2 up you can't beat the ultra for comfort for the passenger.
HD should make that an option model "Fatboy Bagger"
Where did you guys get her front axle spike covers??
I wish I knew, they came on the bike when we bought it.
I got Harley saddlebags for my bike. Mine will not be as easy to install. I am putting them on a Honda. I will need custom brackets. My bags open differently. mine are like the 1994 to 2013 bags.
The challenge will make it feel like a greater accomplishment when you get them all done. Good Luck!!
I had to drill another hole in the right side bag. The brackets wouldn't line up and then if I pushed it thru there was so much tension from it not being straight it popped the spring clips off. They look pretty good on the bike but what a pain in the butt.
Hmmm I have installed a few sets and never had an issue I would have sent them back.
Hey mr badger! Can you tell me what highway bars y’all got and where you got them from?? I got a 99 softail I would like to put some on… thanks man
Yes sir here is what I use amzn.to/30g3doa they were a little short for my liking so I also bought the extension amzn.to/3qkEWYY. Thanks for watching!!
Whatever
Can you tell me how to install retractable training wheels on my fat boy please
Lol they do make some i believe they are air powered
@@TheBadgers I already have some that are small like airplane landing gear they’re not big bulky ones…. I have real bad arthritis now in my old age and I can’t hold it up at stop signs and stuff will come down at about 40 miles an hour and go up at 40 miles an hour
I just need to know how I can install them myself! These guys around here are not mentally capable of helping!
Playing catch up out about today
I know someone with fabrication skills. I plan on having him make the brackets.
Always good to know a fabricator when dealing with motorcycles
You think those bags would look good on my 2022 Harley Street Bob??
Probably, but I don’t know if the brackets will fit correctly
@@TheBadgers I'll give it a try and keep you posted
Do you need a module adapter for the LED break light?
No you don’t
@@TheBadgers I’ve always been told for LED lights we need one for our Fatboys.
@@JamesHall-iw2zw yes when replacing the individual lights but not with the all
In one I’m guessing it’s built in the circuit board of the new one
@@TheBadgers have you replaced your headlights with LEDS? I’m sorry I’m trying to do a lot of my own upgrades and you have been my go to for videos.
@@JamesHall-iw2zw I have and have a video on it Harley Davidson Fatboy Stock Headlights Suck Led Headlight Diy Fatboy Friday Ep 5
czcams.com/video/eIeEeBBHSmQ/video.html
Awesome !! This video will be helpfull ! Do you think the bracket can be mounted on a M8 Softail ? (Since 2018+) Thank you :)
Unfortunately not from everything I have seen it will not fit, maybe with a little modification it would
@@TheBadgers Thank you :)
Will these fit a standard 06 flstf?
Yes they should fit just fine
Was the grommets a pain in butt? Just got the kit and the ones on bags are too small and ones on brackets too big they bow out when on bag
@@arischristopoulos the grommets were a challenge a little grease goes a long way
@@TheBadgers the bags came out great but im def changing the mount bolts for them to quick release instead, that was a pain lol
Did the keys work for the locks.
Yes sir worked great.
@@TheBadgers awesome man. Ordered a pair but the locks didn’t work. I hoping the company will send me another pair.
@@Sherddtotheend Let me know if you ordered from amazon they are pretty good at taking care of issues
@@TheBadgers ya I did just waiting on them to reply
Are these the SLMOTO bags?
We gotta get your sub # up (no 666 allowed ;) , we got work to do!!! Great work on the channel. SPORTSTER4LIFE ☘️ ☘️
Thanks for watching, and we are always working on getting subs
@@TheBadgers I'm sorry if my sarcasm didn't shine through, I think your doing great and I appreciate the hard work. I know the feeling. God bless you both
@@irishguyjg_2ndchancerecovery no worries man I didn't take it badly, thanks for watching
👍
🙃
Lol a set of wings
Thems purses
They look the same quality as my road king oem ones...
I have been very happy with them
My question is, why don't cha just get a Road Glide, are something that comes with all those extras? The Fat Boy is a unique bike all by it's self. Just asking?. MAGA🇺🇸😎
lol because I don’t want a road glide different frame, different feel altogether. The whole point is making the bike yours. I did a video a few days ago about why we ride Fatboys watch that maybe it will help you understand. Kinda like buying a road glide then doing motor work to make it faster why not just buy a crotch rocket that’s already fast??
@@TheBadgers I have a FAT BOY for the last 34 yrs. So I know all about the ride and looks. And I also have a RK. And yes I 've changed the cams out. As far as crouch rockets go. Well you really don't want my opinion,... Do ya??LoL MAGA 🇺🇸😎
@@gabbyhayes4561 I have no idea what your point is, congrats I guess, i have 5 bikes myself. Seriously why add politics to every comment I can't stand any of them, not one of them gives 2 shits about you or me
@@TheBadgers There isn't any real important point here , I guess. Except this is America, and ya can change yre machine how ever you see fit. Over the yrs I've done this or that to mine. I was just merely asking. And politics???🇺🇸😎
Does the footpeg mount go behind the frame and you need a longer screw with a nut?
I do have mine mounted behind the frame, but you could probably do either, I already had a nut on the back of mine.
Can you post a link for that sissy bar please?
We bought the bike used and the sissy bar was already on it, I believe it is actually a Harley Sissy bar
