new paint new bags

Hey mate, I didn't realise that it was possible to run saddlebags and the factory rack at the same time.
Are they factory bags?

that is a factor I didn't know if it would work or not.. as I am in Beijing I actually bought the bags some time ago on a sale .. bundled a few vanity parts to get the shipping, pack em in a big red suitcase and brought back to China.... as to the fitment .....I will try and get some photos ... post em.... but yeah .. we were able to get the rear rack seated with little problem .... yes to answer the question they are the sportster bags offered by the MoCo

on the battery side, I had a folding number plate so had to go to a center leaning tag display and relocation of signals....was kind of worried as to turn signal clearance of the bag lid .. which has a snap on the rear  but the relocated turn signal caused no real restriction ..  but the sweeping tail design of the lid leaves a lot of room at the back for clearance... which was the main reason I choose those ...
