any help

How far do you want to go? There are hard bags and bat wing farings for softails. I have a MoCo windshield and willie & max bags on my Deluxe. Does that make it a bagger?

well, you can't turn a softail into an FLHT style dresser, the frames and drive train are totally different. however, you can add dresser bags and fairings to a softail, we have the bag mounts and radio fairings to do it with

I picked up some 70's era hard bags at a swap and modified my heritage bag brackets to mount them. Good luck. JR

I threw some bags and the big Memphis shade on my 90 softail..fairly easy to do and I like the look...does that make it a bagger?

Most softails come with bags and windshields so no, what you did does not make it a bagger. In my opinion which is just that, I don't think anybody should try and turn any softail into a bagger. As steve states, the frames and drive trains are different. If you want a bagger get one, don't deface a softail, thats a crime...

FLHTC RUUUUUUULLLLEEEEEZZZZZZZ!!!!

A friend has mounted fairing, hard bags and tour pac on his softail.  He had to do some fabrication on the mounts but it actually looks pretty good.

 I am in the middle of doing the same thing to a Softail right now.  I used part 840-097 to mount a set of 93 and later hard saddle bags from a dresser model.  Also going to use part 751-716 for the fairing.  I know that after doing this it does not make my Softail into a Bagger, but it gives it a similar effect.  And if anyone has ever compared the top heaviness of a bagger to that of a softail, you know that the softail is a little lighter which is nice for a smaller guy like me.
