Definitely look better without bags but the bags are hard to live without. I had an 08 with cheap leather bags and EZ brackets. Took the bags off unless I needed them. Miss that bike. I just sold an 09 Softail custom because I needed bags. Ordered all the parts to go quick detach on a set of HD bags but it took too long to get all the parts during covid so I bought a Heritage. Anyway, looks better without, go with quick defach.

I replied to this post while playing on my phone. Didn't get a good look at the picture. Beautiful bike. If you are going to have bags those are the ones to go with. They look great. I would still look into a quick detach setup. As for saddlebags in general I like the hard bags on the touring models. I could fit a whole case of Heineken in one side of my Road Glide. My leather bags on my Heritage aren't big enough for that but they are still roomie enough for me and they come off easy with just two bolts.

I like riding naked but if you do a lot of trips those bags are nice.

Bags of any kind are handy. The painted bags look fine but I prefer leather bags. Here is a picture of my former 2011 FXDB with HD Leather bags.

Classic Wide Glide. Beautiful Without.
Tail bag on luggage rack OK as long as you take them off when not needed.
