So, I received the Villain 2 Hero bags, this set is either for the next gen Dyna’s or possibly just a change? They bolted right up but were pretty close to the new Progressive shocks. I sent the vendor some images and he suggested drilling a second hole to raise them up some. I had noticed but of course I had already taken it out briefly, so my new shocks have marks on them now.
I actually like the original style better as it gave you a bit more room and I believe that lock setup would be a bit more secure? Not a big fan of having to drill on the new brackets and without a press, but came out okay, I guess. I like the product but unsure why the changes? However, they’ve were less cost wise and will do what I need them to do, so the savings went to other items.
Still needs a new seat, handlebars, LED taillight, but since I only have a total of 117 miles on her since September 30th time to put her into the daily 130-mile rotation

DYNA DEFENDER or FXDP SADDLEBAG SET: $719.00
(fiberglass, with powder-coated steel frames)
After two years of R&D, road-testing and manufacturing enhancements, we are very pleased to offer you the finest saddlebag set available. These will mount to any year Harley Dyna by utilizing a 3-point mounting frame. There is no need to buy the obsolete FXDXT rear fender with this set-up.
These will work with any shock configuration except piggy backs, and mount with or without passenger back rests. (See Turn Signal Relocation Kit.) If you have oem FXDX/FXDXT shocks, you will need either to reverse the shock bolts and use existing bolt cover as a spacer, and/or to rotate the upper and lower shock bolt housing. If this does not work, you can purchase HD part #:54557-90A, or just add spacers to existing hardware. Some bikes will require longer fender strut bolts and/or shock studs.
Yes, I saw this after market FXRP hard bags online, looks like they don’t have that back bracket which combines the two from behind the back fender.—Frank Ball Jr.
