I normally ride my Deluxe around with a QD l/h bag, bought second hand, cheap , useful sometimes. I then spotted an affordable r/h bag for sale and spent a couple of hours trying to get it on. A bit tricky in a distinctly odd way, then I realised why (I think...) - these are HD Fatboy bags, designed for twin stacked pipes on the right side, with a cutaway, of course, and no chance of the docking bar meeting the bobbin where I'd located it, the bar already resting directly onto the swinging arm. I guess the easiest course would be to rotate up and relocate the bobbin, pulling the bag outwards away from the s/arm (on a less flimsy bracket, I suppose...) on the outer side of the footpeg spacer. I did consider heating and bending the docking bar away from the swinging arm but maybe not. So, as far as doing this bodge, am I on the right track? I've not seen or noticed this set up on a Fatboy/softail to date, so if anyone has it on their's, or any pointers before I crack on, I'd appreciate it, thanks.
