any one remove rear fender yet to see if possible to mount bag hangers or even hard mount some bags? was thinking some thing like this hard mounted to rear fendor? few weeks till know what new bike i can get fury is top my list but customization is as important as my budget on my decision

Well there has been a few comments on saddlebags, but whatever...I need to pack stuff on my journeys and I carry a backpack for a living, not when I don't have too, so I put bags on mine and use a variety of front fork raps to carry extra...This is photo with my new bags on the solo seat, (I just remounted on the "bitch" seat for the next ride"...I'm a realist in the fact that ya it's going to affect the paint to some extent, but what the fuck, I'm riding...You can also see my jacket as a roll on the forks...All carry well and easy to remove.
Cheers

Sorry for the delay in a reply, I used the seat mount bolts to hold the bags and tied off to the turn signals...Mounted high enough that I have no problem with wheel or rotor rub...Also bought a fairly stiff saddlebag which helps with the rigidity.
Not sure what you mean about the "chrome fender guard"

neither does honda and chopper, yet we're all riding them.. ;0)

I cant recall ever seeing a chopper with saddlebags.

 

[tinman621]

big dog choppers makes a bagger style chopper with hard bags......very nice i might add!

 

[kkelley0171]

I like it. Your picture was exactly what I was looking for. I just want to be able to use saddlebags from time to time when I might go on a quick overnight trip. So that is good to know. Thanks!!!

 

[kkelley0171]

What brand of saddlebags are those?

 

[StPeteAPB]

Here are some throw-over saddle bags reported to be ok for the Fury:
ACCESSORIES INTERNATIONAL SINCE 1998: KURYAKYN GRANTHROW-OVER SADDLEBAGS

 

[skappiris]

I agree. I got rid of my cruiser because it was 'tired' looking. The Fury is cool; but, I do a few overnight trips on it and a backpack is OK. But a set of hard bags really gets the job done.

As a person in the "50 something" era I can tell you that back in the late 60s and early 70s it was rare to see a chopper out on the open road without saddlebags of some kind. Even if it was a bedroll tied to the front forks (as I did). If you have any doubts try watching the movie "easyrider"

 

[FDLFURY]

EasyRider "Awesome movie"!

 

[Shorty Steve]

Working on it.

You really need to get out more. Fairing also. Pretty sure they consider it a chopper. Nice bike. Too bad they were a "boutique" bike, too much money.

 

[Shorty Steve]

I got the Corbin fairing and hard bags, it was only $3,682

In a month and a half or so on my vacation I will also have them. Riding up there to Hollister to get them put on, they said they would install them no charge. Saves me some shipping costs and gives me a chance to get a few hundred miles on the bike going up there and back. Can't wait.

 

[Shorty Steve]

OK, How about a set of these. they would mount under the rear fender between the frame and fender. NO drilling needed.

you just mount it here.
