Saddlemen Slant Saddlebags For Harley Dyna 1996-2017 Drifter [Open Box]

Saddlemen Slant Drifter Saddlebags for Harley-Davidson Dyna (1996–2017) [Open Box]

Elevate your bike’s utility without sacrificing its performance-driven aesthetic with the Saddlemen Slant Drifter Saddlebags. This specific offering is an Open Box unit, meaning you get the legendary quality of Saddlemen at a significantly reduced price. These bags have been inspected to ensure they meet structural and functional standards, providing a “like-new” experience for your 1996–2017 Harley-Davidson Dyna. The Drifter style is characterized by its smooth, clean exterior, making it the ideal choice for riders who prefer a minimalist, blacked-out, or contemporary look.

The Drifter Aesthetic: Clean and Minimalist

The Drifter series is designed for the rider who believes “less is more.” Eschewing chrome studs and tassels, these bags feature a smooth, premium finish that complements the stripped-down nature of the Street Bob (FXDB) and the classic lines of the Super Glide (FXD). The slanted profile is a functional masterpiece, specifically angled to follow the rake of the Dyna’s rear shock absorbers, ensuring the bags sit tight against the fender for better aerodynamics and a more integrated appearance.

High-Performance Weather-Resistant Construction

Constructed from Saddlemen’s proprietary Saddlehyde™, these bags offer the rich texture of leather with the resilience of modern synthetics. This material is UV-protected to prevent fading under intense sun and is inherently water-repellent. Unlike genuine leather, these bags will not shrink, rot, or become brittle over time. This makes the Slant Drifter bags a true “set-it-and-forget-it” luggage solution that stays looking showroom-fresh with nothing more than a quick wipe-down after a ride.

Shape-Retention & Rigid Mounting

One of the hallmarks of Saddlemen luggage is its internal rigid frame. These bags are reinforced with a plastic-backed structure that prevents sagging, even when empty or subjected to high speeds. The lids feature a sturdy closure system to keep your gear secure and dry. While these bags are often used with a throw-over yoke, they are also compatible with Saddlemen’s S3 Quick-Disconnect mounting systems, allowing for a rock-solid, bolt-on installation to your Dyna’s fender struts.

Fitment & Compatibility for 1996–2017 Dyna

These bags are a versatile fit for the entire modern Dyna era. Compatibility includes:

• Super Glide & Custom: FXD, FXDC, and FXDX.
• Low Rider: FXDL and FXDLS (Low Rider S).
• Street Bob: FXDB (Fits perfectly with the solo-seat bobber look).
• Wide Glide & Fat Bob: FXDWG and FXDF (Requires checking clearance for turn signals).
• Fits Years: 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000 through 2017.

Why Buy Open Box?

Choosing an Open Box Saddlemen product is the smartest way to upgrade your ride on a budget. These units are typically customer returns or floor displays that have undergone a rigorous quality check. You receive the same heavy-duty hardware, the same weather-resistant materials, and the same precision fitment as a brand-new unit. It is an excellent opportunity to own professional-grade gear while saving money for your next road trip or engine upgrade.

Installation Insights

For the 1996–2017 Dyna, we recommend using saddlebag supports to protect your rear fender paint and keep the bags away from the belt drive and rear wheel. Depending on the size of the bags (Large vs. Jumbo), you may need a turn signal relocation kit to ensure proper spacing. The slanted design is specifically intended to maximize clearance, making the installation process much simpler than with traditional square bags.
