Leather Pros EZ-Mount Retro Series V3 2018+ Softail Saddlebags - Ballistic Nylon

  Leather Pros designed these bags specifically to mount on the new 2018+ Softails without relocating the turn signals or license plate.  Based on the Retro Series bags, they are slightly smaller, but still expandable to hold more than the bagger fiberglass bags.  They are now updated to use the V3 hardware, which makes mounting more user friendly, and incorporates a spring loaded safety latch and integrated lock.
