Well, I'm one step closer to being a Harley-Davidson owner.
I stopped at a shop and had them detail my bike. I suppose
next I'll stop changing my own oil too. Finally I'll have a
bike welded to a trailer and keep it as mobile lawn art.
If there's nothing wrong with me,
maybe there's something wrong with the universe!

After I put Harley saddle bags and a Harley replacement drive belt on my bike my buddy said, "Heck, why don't you just cut to the chase and buy a complete Harley?"

Ya still gotta get a limited edition H-D Ford whatever (unless you want to go whole hog  and get the Freightliner Class 8 H-D Cascade!) and ya need to get all H-D labeled clothes, including undies and 'jammies! Then you'll be walkin' the walk!!

How did the bags fit? Were their any difficulties in installation?
And is there any difference in the Harley belt other than the
price and the fact that they probably stamp their bar and
shield on it?

Yes, it was extremely difficult. I modified EasyBrackets and recessed them into the back. These are '83 "Euroglide" bags, not the big, long boxy slanted ones. Mine are rounded and very wide. Just bolting on the EasyBrackets wouldn't have worked very well.
The Harley belt is poly rather than rubber and very high quality. It easily outlasted the pulleys. And yes it was pretty expensive ($180 if I recall). No bar and shield if I recall correctly.
As an aside, I was working on my bike yesterday and I noticed that my smartarsed buddy who owns a small Harley shop and does my tire mounting and balancing put a valve stem cap on my rear wheel with a bar and shield on the tip. I wonder if he wondered how long it would take me to notice.

I'm sure it was a joke and I am equally sure he was wondering how long it would take you to notice.
I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.

So, how long did it take you to notice?

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
