While I love my new LowRiderST, I hate those stupid clam shell bags. I traded my RG Special for the ST because I had to admit at 70, the bike is just too heavy for me. Thank you Steve, for your excellent step by step video, showing how easy is to step up to a proper set of Harley Bags
I hear a lot of complaints about those bags and this guy was in the same boat...really didnt like them...but this worked out really good for him. Thank you for checking it out!
Yes there isnt a ton of issues with the bags other than the size...and I dont care for the way they open but im just used to the touring bags...thats on me.,.but yes way more storage....thanks for checking it out!
Great option when you have to travel, or on long trips when you need a lot of stuff. I think our bikes have to be flexible and suit our needs. On my road king Classic I have the original panners("leather" ones) but i also bought hard cases like these either for that different look or to suit different luggage needs. Also have differtnt windshields to choose from when in summer, winter, highway use or just chugghing around. IMHO this is the best way to live and keep falling in love with your bike❤. Keep up the great work, Cheers from Italy! 😉
Agreed 100%!! I love the old panner bags and the look is awesome...but sometimes you just need more room...thank you for checking it out my friend! Much appreciated!
While I agree its not for everyone.... but until we get the smaller bags with the touring style lids I wanted to show people that they had options. We actually sell a ton of these for the ST as they stand but I think the shorter bags with this style lid will do better. Thanks for checking it out.
hahah man...ive heard that about a million times and I just dont hear it...asked my wife and she laughed and said no, no you dont...but it cannot be ruled out as so many others have said the same thing.
Awesome video. Gave me a vision for my Black 16 CVO-Breakout. I saw my ride with Advanblack fairing and touring saddle bags color matched. I never saw my ride like that before. In one day it can all be taken off, and ridden as a Original Love that seat. Gotta try one like it someday.
unfortunately not...the pipes need to be shorter than the bag placement and/or lower than the swing arm under your rear foot peg. I apologize for not mentioning that.
Nicer bags but the exhaust is blowing against the right bag. Will the exhaust sound be bouncing off the bag also after a long ride will the heat from the exhaust warp the bag over time. Thanks
we run baggers with side dump exhaust literally dumping out on the bag and it doesnt hurt them...these actaully ride a little higher than the exhaust ...youll be fine.
Nailed it! Great informational video! I LOVE the new look and am so happy to see those clam shells go away. You guys do great work! GO HARLEY RIDE SAFE BROTHER!!!
Im glad they worked out for you...definitely more room and equally sized bags. Were working on the chopped version of these too...not sure on the release date yet though.
it really doesnt matter where you start it, if its edge to edge the the back wouldnt make a difference from the front but if you have to take those hinges out all you have to do is remove 2 inches from each side and boom the hinge comes out, glue the rubber back down..save yourself about 30 bucks on ne w seals. Plus thats where harley starts them so thats where I start them lol
@@sikbaggers gotcha! I have an FXLRST and have never really looked at the HD touring bags to know but that makes a lot more sense now. WIsh the bags were chopped through like the Nasty Hogs bags and that they worked with the stock exhaust as I don't want to go 2-1.
@@KamberBCT I agree the chopped bags will look great and we are working on them now. It shouldnt be long before they are done and I get a set to test fit. But for now I just wanted show everyone that they had options. Hold off a bit longer and those chopped bags will be done!
@@sikbaggers yeah I keep hearing that but it’s been months. Hoping to see something soon and I appreciate the video for sure. Was good to see the potential challenges with the mounting hardware when installing but at the end it all fit without modification so that’s perfect. Looking forward to the chopped bags eventually as that’s 100% the route I want to go / am going.
Are there any fender options? I saw they have the chopped bags on a different channel. But do you know of a good option for a longer fender to make the lines run together better?
For $1,100 I'd expect them to come pre-assembled. I ride mostly without stock bags attached. Would consider these if longer trips are in the future for me.
if your color is not in stock ready to ship and you have to wait the appx. 4 weeks lead time, they will come assembled. These are touring bags and anyone with a touring bike ordering bags usually doesnt need the lids so we sell them seperate. Also the hardware comes in chrome, black or color matched, so we are not going to stock every version of every color and every hardware already put together. "Edit for spelling" aka fat fingers.
Indeed! Add a color matched tour pack with our quick release brackets and you really packing this bike for a trip! Smaller, lighter bike and tons of storage options...its a good deal.
I’ve been thinking about maybe trading my ultra limited for an st or something because I’m not liking the weight of my bike. But I also didn’t like the clam shell bags, but this video is making my choice a little more towards the change. Thanks for the info.
Hey Jim...make sure you ride an ST before getting it..I understand the weight issue but the ST sits way different then a touring bike with mid controls. Its really not as comfortable in my opinion. Maybe look into forward controls if you do get an ST.
Is a longer bolt required from the kit when using the space with the bungking rear sliders? Also is it possible to just use a spacer on the opposite side to keep them symmetrical?
no...no issues have been reported and lots of people have done this mod...your exhaust should be below the bags so that heart should go straight out under that bags
Watch my video on the bags install on the low rider s , it shows you can use any passenger pegs...this one has mx style pegs on it ua-cam.com/video/sjyX1eO33ZU/v-deo.html
2 questions: 1-What is the thickness of the spacer needed? 2-will a full length exhust fit with the bags on or are we limited to shorty style exhaust? Thanks
appx. 3/4 inch spacer and and yes you will need to have a 2 into short pipe or you run the risk of the bag bar hitting the pipe. Figure out the size of your bolt and order a set of these in the proper size, and 3/4 inch stand off length amzn.to/3HAUVcA
we have bradckets for up to 17...im sure there are brackets on the market for the 18 and newer...its definitlky doable you just need the corrct brackets for your bike.
this bike had the Stealth Inc Pipe on it...this one...so you cna kind og guage what size you need www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/stealth-pipes-inc-2-into-1-high-performance-exhaust-for-harley-dyna-2006-2017
we will not being making clam shell style bags. The design is not consistantly water tight, however we are making a chopped version of the touring bags, they are in production.
Do you feel any difference with the additional weight of the rails and bags in the rear end? Would you need to make a slight adjust to the preload on the rear shock?
Its a stealth with a heat shiled from another exhaust....Cant remember what exhaust we took that off of but here is the exhaust j-and-p-cycles.pxf.io/Bn5XLq
When I saw the Low Rider ST, I was excited, but then when I saw the bags and the tiny gauge display, that was a deal breaker. I wish HD would get it right...
these are the ones for the fatboy here www.advanblack.com/black-hard-saddlebags-conversion-brackets-for-84-17-softail-heritage-deluxe-fatboy-springer.html
Were designing some shorter bags with this style lid so it will pair up with the sporty rear fender..but for now this is a solid option for more room I think. Thanks for checking out the video!

My Biggest Question is why aren’t they pre-assembled? Would seem that it would make sense that the manufacturer put it all together and just send it to the client.
If the product is not in stock and everything has to be painted then it will come assembled. Average wait time for paint is 4 to 6 weeks. We offer hardware in black and in chrome or even color matched hinges...so we may have the lids and bags in stock in the hardware in stock in a separate box and you will get it within the week. These are also touring model bags, so if someone with a touring model wants these then they dont need the lid and hardware, they already have it. make sense?
I dont mind the shape but the clam shell is kinda dumb. BUT, the thing that reeeaaallly bugs me is that they are different sizes. Looks dumb from the rear.
The only thing I was concerned about the clam shells are they can leak pretty easy...kind of crappy design and yes the two sizes is really awkward. Once you see it, you ant un see it lol
They are just to big for the bike IMO. I hate the way the clamshells open and not water tight at all. Would love a bag that was a bit smaller that the touring bags w a touring style lid. Great video.
While I agree its not for everyone but until we get the smaller bags with the touring style lids I wanted to show people that they had options. We actually sell a ton of these for the ST as they stand but I think the shorter bags with this style lid will do better. Thanks for checking it out.
Smaller touring bag would be awesome!!! I was thinking of painting my lids this year on my Sport Glide but if there’s another bag option on the horizon I’ll wait to see what those look like. Thanks
Looks great but you commit or don’t commit on these bags. Brackets are a hassle when you want to ride with bags off. Another excuse to get another bike lol RGST CVO ❤
I can appreciate AB providing this option but the bike looks ridiculous from the rear and sides. Not a fan of the bags Harley provides with this bike but these look worse. The fender being so much higher than the bags is not appealing.
Put HD synthetic leather bags on my 09 Softail Cushion Look ok mostly for light shopping in town or long rides Take them off keep bike clean looking majority of time
I would put them up somewhat higher like the original. But then you have to modify the brackets.. Little to big for the looks. Maybe when the chopped come out… interesting though
Honestly, these are the type of bags that should have been on there. These or the chopped style. The current bags look pretty cool, but are nearly useless for any type of travel over a day or 2.
Yeah i think the bags were an after though from HD...specially since one bag is bigger than the other...weird...and not water tight. These are a way better option in my opinion
I'm not huge on Harley's in general, but when they debuted the ST it really got my attention. Well, until I saw the tiny right side bag, lol. That's just lazy engineering on their part. This looks so much better.
i'm looking at getting the road glide or the lowrider . I already have a 22 nightster, and i'm looking for saddles thar are bigger thank Harleys. don't ridicule me about the nightster. i'm tired of that shit.
first I would never do that about your Nightster...we have a Sportster S in our arsenal so there's that lol There are huge differences between the road glide and the low rider so please make sure you test ride both before deciding...I ride a road glide primarily and I feel very awkward on this Low rider ST. Thanks for checking out the video!
@@sikbaggers of the road glide is due to it's heavier weight than the lowrider st? And in the other, one has a radio and there other. I like both. But the decision will come as soon as I test ride them.
The ST is about 100 lbs lighter…. Really noticeable!! The ST comes with mid controls that can be changed out for forwards. Taller guys like the forwards. There is a radio for the ST made to fit perfectly by rockford Fosgate. The biggest ST downfall for me is the lack of infotainment screen.
Looks great! IMO chopped bags are a huge waste, less space AND showing off annoying exhausts is lame. I like stretched bags with more storage that cover up ugly exhausts. The exhaust has to evacuate spent gases and make enough noise for sleeping cage drivers to hear me coming but I don’t want to see it!

Suits the bike well. It has a performance look at the rear with the short stock fender!
yes agreed! Thanks for checking it out!
I dig it. I absolutely dig it. I think the rear fender needs to come down a bit to match the length of the bags. But I absolutely dig it.

Can you still get a passenger on comfortably with these bags? Looks like it might block their legs from reaching the pegs.
I have Tabs Slip Ons on my ST. Am i gonna have to get a different exhaust system to put these on?
look down on inner plastic fender at the bottom on your bike,..,.if your exhaust goes past that plastic piece then yes you will need shorter exhaust.
which 2/1 exhaust will work with these bags?

will these work with a 13.5in mono shock?
Hey...I really have no idea, I havent tested them with that
Will these fit a 23 Heritage Classic?
they will if you find the proper saddlebag rails
Make the the clam shells in same size for both left and right they would sell like crazy compared to the off bags that come factory for the exhaust

Do you feel any difference with the additional weight of the rails and bags in the rear end? Would you need to make a slight adjust to the preload on the rear shock?
no adjustment needed to the suspension unless you are packing them down..then yes...just like your clam shells you will need to adjust accordingly.
What backrest/rack is that?
its just the harley one
Looks nice, how do the bags work with the exhaust?
You will need a 2 into 1 shorty like on this bike to run this mod.

The only thing I was concerned about the clam shells are they can leak pretty easy...kind of crappy design and yes the two sizes is really awkward. Once you see it, you ant un see it lol
Spot on. Just what Harley should have done in the first place.
exactly! Thank you for chekcing it out Paul..much appreciated.
They are just to big for the bike IMO. I hate the way the clamshells open and not water tight at all. Would love a bag that was a bit smaller that the touring bags w a touring style lid. Great video.
While I agree its not for everyone but until we get the smaller bags with the touring style lids I wanted to show people that they had options. We actually sell a ton of these for the ST as they stand but I think the shorter bags with this style lid will do better. Thanks for checking it out.
Smaller touring bag would be awesome!!! I was thinking of painting my lids this year on my Sport Glide but if there’s another bag option on the horizon I’ll wait to see what those look like. Thanks
bring out some crash guards for the saddlebags
I dont think thats anything were working on but im sure someone is
Looks great but you commit or don’t commit on these bags. Brackets are a hassle when you want to ride with bags off. Another excuse to get another bike lol RGST CVO ❤
yeah they are only quick detach for cleaning really...its the same on a touring model..if you remove the bags you still have the rails
Nah thanks. Too large and don’t fit the bikes attitude aesthetically. hope y’all make some chopped bags though.
They are in the works!
Make them taller and thinner.
I can appreciate AB providing this option but the bike looks ridiculous from the rear and sides. Not a fan of the bags Harley provides with this bike but these look worse. The fender being so much higher than the bags is not appealing.
Put HD synthetic leather bags on my 09 Softail Cushion
Look ok mostly for light shopping in town or long rides
Take them off keep bike clean looking majority of time
I would put them up somewhat higher like the original. But then you have to modify the brackets.. Little to big for the looks. Maybe when the chopped come out… interesting though
Awsome, always could use more space, if i cant carry it on my bike i don't need it.
The cage will sit for months without insurance. 😅
Thank you for checking out the video...and yeah they are a viable option for more room for sure.
👍
Thank you for checking it out!
That clam shells are absolute trash and harley should be ashamed for sending em out the door. Good on you for coming up with a good solution.
Thank you, the owner loved the new bags!
They look good but I'd have problem dragging the new bags. there's a reason they put the stock bags higher up.
bro we dont drag 6 inch drop bags,,you arent even going to come close to dragging stock touring bags
Damn near a Road King.
damn near.
Do like the standard bags on it. I definitely think doing that if had Low Rider S or ST.
Honestly, these are the type of bags that should have been on there. These or the chopped style. The current bags look pretty cool, but are nearly useless for any type of travel over a day or 2.
Yeah i think the bags were an after though from HD...specially since one bag is bigger than the other...weird...and not water tight. These are a way better option in my opinion
I'm not huge on Harley's in general, but when they debuted the ST it really got my attention. Well, until I saw the tiny right side bag, lol. That's just lazy engineering on their part. This looks so much better.
I do agree, I think it was an after thought and well...t was a really bad one lol
Looks a lot better and way more functional.
yes they are..and water tight unlike the st bags. Thanks for checking it out!
i'm looking at getting the road glide or the lowrider . I already have a 22 nightster, and i'm looking for saddles thar are bigger thank Harleys. don't ridicule me about the nightster. i'm tired of that shit.
first I would never do that about your Nightster...we have a Sportster S in our arsenal so there's that lol There are huge differences between the road glide and the low rider so please make sure you test ride both before deciding...I ride a road glide primarily and I feel very awkward on this Low rider ST. Thanks for checking out the video!
@@sikbaggers of the road glide is due to it's heavier weight than the lowrider st? And in the other, one has a radio and there other.
I like both. But the decision will come as soon as I test ride them.
The ST is about 100 lbs lighter…. Really noticeable!! The ST comes with mid controls that can be changed out for forwards. Taller guys like the forwards. There is a radio for the ST made to fit perfectly by rockford Fosgate. The biggest ST downfall for me is the lack of infotainment screen.
Looks great! IMO chopped bags are a huge waste, less space AND showing off annoying exhausts is lame. I like stretched bags with more storage that cover up ugly exhausts. The exhaust has to evacuate spent gases and make enough noise for sleeping cage drivers to hear me coming but I don’t want to see it!
Thank you for checking it out! Much appreciated!
