    Knuckle head saddlebags ?

    I found these bags at my dads old farmhouse. They were stored in the basement in a dark cool room.
    I thought he said he had a 47 knuckle head. Any idea what these are ?

            Sorry to be a pain , but I've looked online and I can't find this exact bags. Their close but where it's embossed with Harley logo there not grey painted. You can tell they weren't had painted. It's to perfect. Also the stude scrolls are different.

              It was very common for owners to "personalize" their bags. Those have been painted and have extra studs on them. They are just embellished factory bags. Locktite is the bag style, not a manufacturer. And H-D didn't make bags, they were all made under contract by Milsco (Milwaukee Saddlery Company) for H-D, who also made all their seats. That is a nice set of bags.
