2020 HD 883XL Touring Look

Matches my stock 2020 HD 883 XL very well and gives it the look of a touring bike. The location of my turn signals, tag and rear shocks stick out a bit more than the mounting brackets that come with the kit. If you have an easily accessible hardware store, you can surely find something that goes a little further. I would suggest relocating the turn signals and such to avoid the bulky look. I'm currently in Belgium and touring bikes seem to be all the rage here so I mounted the bindings backwards which gives it a unique touring look. I'm only giving 3 stars at the moment. I will update my rating after the upcoming event in Germany to see if they hold up. They seem solid enough, but we'll see what happens. Edit: Yes, no. Don't install them upside down. At freeway speeds in this position, they literally begin to flap in the wind. I'm changing my rating from 3 stars to 4 because they've held up pretty well with no cracks/breaks despite my weird setup. I'm sure if I could mount them properly on my 2020 XL883N these would be pretty decent bags. I also wear an XXL riding jacket with protectors and was able to fold the jacket up and put it in one of the pockets without any problems.

Pros
  • Excellent Overall Performance
Cons
  • Doubtful
