The blue bike does NOT have Harley bags...If you read about his bike you will see that they are an aftermarket brand with a mounting kit. It is my understanding that the second bike was completely harley from the tank back. LOTS of work.
I have purchased a set of harley bags off of E-bay for $175. The latches were another $175.
I will be fabricating up a mount soon that will be similar to the stock Harley mounting system, but bolts to the Valk (I hope so anyway).
The problem seems to be spacing the bag on the right side out far enough to clear the swingarm and drive assembly, without being out so far as to look funny. The factory hardbags are designed with a cutout area for this, where the harley bags are not. I also think that in order to have the bags far enough rearward so a passenger's legs don't hit them, that they will hit the turn signals.
I haven't spent more than about 30 minutes working on it since I have been working on my HD fairing install....hopefully I will get to it this spring. getting too nice to work on it and just ride
