Has anyone installed the touring bags on your custom?

Hi DaveYes. No problem.
Hi Dave
Could you tell me if you used the touring bag mounts or the custom bag mounts that AF1 sells? Thanks
Bob
Thanks Dave
According to the guys at AF1 the supports for the touring model are different that the custom supports with the part number you posted. I bought some bags off a touring with the supports and they don't work on my custom. I have The guzzitech mufflers and the bracket interferes with the bag bracket. I'm hoping that the brackets for the custom clear the muffler bracket. Todd has offered to modify if needed, but that is a last resort.
I beg to differ, Dave. The guys at AF1 are correct; the bracket IS different for the Custom. I didn't know there were Custom-specific brackets until I was unable to fit the brackets that came with the bags and started asking questions. I then exchanged brackets with Dave at Moto International, and voila! And the remote reservoir DOES need to be rotated for clearance between the hose and the bracket.
Guess they shipped the Custom-specific brackets with your bags. Lucky you!Interesting. That was not the case for my Custom. The brackets that shipped with the bags fit just fine.
As an option you can use Hepco-Becker CBows and have removable bags. The Ivory in black is a similar size.
