I used 3inch by 5/16 bolts with a 1/2 inch spacer to mount the bags using the included mount to the harley OEM bag bracket. The bags have to be over 2 inches out from the fender to OPEN!!! The original included mounts are to flimsy..
Bags are super nice, lots of storage and using the harley OEM bag mount they are rock solid!!!
before installing bags coated them with Skidmore's leather cream. Bags are faux leather and the cream wil help protect them.
