Default Wide Glide & Detachable Saddlebags

I Seem to have trouble finding detachable saddlebags that work well with the WG (and don't leave gawdy brackets behind)
Anybodyhave experience with saddleman saddlebags?

Any suggestions, experiences or advice from the forumites regarding good detachables?

Thanks in advance

i hkave the leatherman bags with easy brackets you have to move your signals back, and at that point i would go with the bullet style lights gives you more clearance, 05 wideglide (last yr of the great bikes)

I just purchased a set of Boss Bags(Made by Leatherpro I believe)for my Wide Glide. I looked all over and thought they were the best made with the cleanest docking hardware. And they Don't Rattle when empty!

I forgot to add...For the 06-08 Wideglides, you do not need to move the signals. The bags also come with everything that is needed to install and it is very easy. They even come with a leather care kit and two keyed alike masterlocks so you can lock them on the bike!

Can you post some pictures of the bags from the side and rear?

I got a set of the boss bags a couple months ago for my '05 WG. High quality, easy to install, work great. Can't say enough about them. Here's a few pics of them on the bike:

Eagle leatherworks has some quality bags and some key lock supports that have two small crome mount pins.
they are the yellow stone bags they also have a smaller set to info@eagleleatherworks.com
They are a little bit $$$ but I like them
