How To Mount Viking Saddlebags To Harley Davidson

[@choirboyzcutleryoutdoors]

This is a straight-up support comment. Because our girl Megatron said ain't no way I'm getting a Harley! So I love you to death my brother I'm watching the video just letting you know I'm supporting you!!

[@DonnieBAllDay]

Haha! Get her hair in the wind on a trike, she'll never want off!

[@DonnieBAllDay]

I'm uploading a knife video now to get back on track! haha

[@choirboyzcutleryoutdoors]

@@DonnieBAllDay lmao... It gets in the blood!! I've got to upload a couple but that would mean I have to put on pants so I'm going back and forth right now

[@DonnieBAllDay]

@@choirboyzcutleryoutdoors Pants are overrated. Haha

[@daviddierks4271]

This helped me with the installation of my Viking Bags! Thanks much!!

[@DonnieBAllDay]

They make it seem harder than it is

[@thomasgibson8025]

Where's your rear turn signals and brake light?

[@DonnieBAllDay]

Built in the plate frame

[@trickyrjb1]

Wow! Definitely positioned the bags perfectly on the bike.

[@DonnieBAllDay]

These things have been great

[@liljuanito123]

Looks good! Got vikings on my ride too. They are pretty big and hold enough groceries. Love that they need a key too.

[@DonnieBAllDay]

The ability to lock is definitely a plus

[@thomasclarken2564]

What are they like at full speed

[@dann5380]

great job looks good. I been considering to get the same bags for my Bonneville.

[@DonnieBAllDay]

went grocery shopping the other day. Spent $80 and became a Tetris master fitting it all in the bags, but it fit.

[@markjordan919]

So, I'm guessing your state doesn't require stop light, blinkers or rear reflectors? Or what am I missing here?

[@markjordan919]

Asking because my son has the same throw over bags and I if they aren't mounted/strapped etc in about that position you have them there, they don't fit right under the directionals and give enough room for passenger to comfortably sit and reach foot pegs.

[@DonnieBAllDay]

@@markjordan919 all my lights are built into the plate frame. Running, stop and signals

[@markjordan919]

@@DonnieBAllDay thanks, I watched another video and I did see there was a kit to change them. Told my son every change he wants to make with his means $$$. I just kept mine a strait naked black bob so I didn’t see them.

[@DonnieBAllDay]

@@markjordan919 Check out the Cycle Visions plate frame. I show it well in this vid.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hn2saKOPr6ilopI

[@jgbullen]

Those are super cool compared to guys I see on the ride with bags that look like old Samsonite luggage. I used to ride with a guy who had a long ponytail sewn in the back of his helmet. I never asked is it was something he once grew, or something he removed from someone else, but I think its the best accessory I have ever seen.

[@DonnieBAllDay]

I can't do a weave! haha

[@jgbullen]

@@DonnieBAllDay Why weave, use a staple gun. When the helmet was off his head was slick

[@DonnieBAllDay]

@@jgbullen even better than Scotch Tape!

I just put Vikings on my bike about a month back mounted hard like that I ride a Honda vtx 1800s its a beast

[@DonnieBAllDay]

These bags are no joke

[@jeffaschbacher3334]

Was wondering if you were going to put bags on it. AND, here they are. Good choice 🇺🇸

[@DonnieBAllDay]

A needed add on

[@tommygunz164]

and to think, I was just gonna pay somebody! thanks bro, now I got cool bags AND drinking money!

[@DonnieBAllDay]

Haha! The way to go

[@LegionTacticoolCutlery]

Great looking bike and setup DBUDSTER!

[@DonnieBAllDay]

Thanks! 👍

[@juanz7908]

2 years later, how are they holding up?

[@DonnieBAllDay]

Still like new. Just sold the bike two days ago. The bags were a highlight

[@Doomstrader]

Bike looks great! Quick question where did you get the windshield? I have a 2018 soft tail slim and I’m looking for something that exact size!

[@DonnieBAllDay]

It's awesome! Really takes the wind of my chest. Go to eBay and type in, ABS Plastic Motorcycle Windscreen Windshield for Harley Dyna Softail Models

[@stefanklaus1652]

Viking is allways good Brother cause I roleplay a Viking warrior almost every day on my Computer, your bike gets better and better every time it looks great stay safe my brother ❤️

[@DonnieBAllDay]

Roleplay? You ARE a Viking Warrior!

[@GettingTheWordOutChannel]

Looks great. What are the dimensions of the bags? Thanks bro

[@DonnieBAllDay]

I forget. They're the second largest size Viking Bags sells

[@lenorawilliamson4482]

where did you get the coffin shaped mounts? did they come with the viking bags? they were not in my hardware kit. have viking bags. thanks

[@DonnieBAllDay]

[@miguelmacias9514]

Did you have any problem with them clearing your swing arm on either side ??? I have mine mounted about the same height but I tan spacers just in case

[@DonnieBAllDay]

No problems at all

[@Geronimo564]

Im confused on why you marked holes at an angle and not vertically ? Please elaborate.

[@DonnieBAllDay]

laying the brackets at an angle is better against wind

[@Geronimo564]

@@DonnieBAllDay got ya.

[@HarleyFatBoyJr]

Did u have to relocate the rear tail lights

[@DonnieBAllDay]

No. My tail lights are built into my plate frame

[@Katana-Karl]

Awww yeah! Looks great! You can go cross country now!

[@DonnieBAllDay]

Until I crap my spine! Haha

[@Katana-Karl]

@@DonnieBAllDay 😆

[@fredharris3727]

Can the throw over strap be used along with the mounts for the thrown over look?

[@DonnieBAllDay]

I believe so since you mount your own holes

[@GettingTheWordOutChannel]

Is that an LED license plate holder? Brand?

[@DonnieBAllDay]

Cycle Visions

[@GettingTheWordOutChannel]

That’s what I was thinking it was. Thanks for your response. Safe riding and thanks

[@GettingTheWordOutChannel]

Did it have to be hardwired or was it plug and play?

[@DonnieBAllDay]

@@GettingTheWordOutChannel plugs right in

[@GettingTheWordOutChannel]

And theres license plate light as well right? Thanks for all the info brother.

[@HarleyFatBoyJr]

Great job bro. Are those large or Xl bags?

[@DonnieBAllDay]

Its the second largest they have

@@DonnieBAllDay 🤙🏾🔥

[@DavidFernandez-rd5mg]

How are they holding up? I'm looking for some for my sportster but I've heard mixed reviews about them

[@DonnieBAllDay]

I put about 2000 miles on with the bags and they're still mint

[@HarleyFatBoyJr]

Ok sweet disregard the size. I got the same ones so this is gonna be fun.

[@DonnieBAllDay]

One of my favorite upgrades, no doubt

[@HarleyFatBoyJr]

[@Gunslinger196]

at 20:09 exhaust pipes are on the left of the bike, then at 20:17 they are on the right... What is up with the video or do I need new glasses?

[@DonnieBAllDay]

Haha! Say whaaaaaat? Yeah, the flipping of the video making movie magic.

[@CPRBonaire]

Where are your tali lights/brake lights.

[@DonnieBAllDay]

Inside the plate frame

[@KennyT-hj6vy]

YO K. I C 👀 them now 😁 @@DonnieBAllDay

[@jacaughron55]

Should have used the thin rubber washer for a little more water tight seal on the holes

[@DonnieBAllDay]

So for, no issues. I was surprised. Its not an area that collects a lot of water

[@jacaughron55]

Yeah u def need washers for sue…. Especially on the hole w out the pre installed space in the bag

[@DonnieBAllDay]

indeed!

[@dude28405]

You have to stop teasing me with that red beetle in your videos

[@DonnieBAllDay]

Haha! Its a looker

[@kenrodz3858]

None of the holes on the bags matches with my bike.

[@DonnieBAllDay]

There has to one. One hole lines up with one hole, than you make the rest. But there has to one unless you have no fender strut.

[@levinivison1024]

Those are very similar to the Indian motorcycle saddle bags Lol

[@DonnieBAllDay]

They are. Viking Bags have a few styles, these ones were just what I needed

[@levinivison1024]

@@DonnieBAllDay I like how they are sleek and go with the line designs of the bike.
