Here's the bags on sometimes run on my WG. They're Harley Slant bags. I made my own quick detach system. Sorry the pic's a little dark.

I like these from H-D. High quality looks and finish. Hold their shape. Go with the lines of the bike and shocks... bags, straps, buckles. Would get them again easily.

sfarson....VERY nice looking setup! I have an 05 FXDWG. If you don't mind, could you please post exactly what bags those are, and what other items you had to have in order to make them work (supports, turn signal relocation, etc)?

Greatly appreciated.
Bob

These are great bags, cut out tail lights, hard plastic shell inside, pretty roomy. One draw back is that they are pretty difficult to remove and/or clean around, I manage okay, I am sure there is a quick release somewhere.

Bob, will find these bags (Part# 79300-04) and the necessary turn signal relocation kit (Part# 68718-02) on page 160 (Product B.) of the '06 P&A book/catalog. They were new last year and will fit your '05. Mine is an '04.

I'm looking for a set too for my 01 WG. The problem I'm having is most that fit a WG say they won't work with rear axle covers which I put on last week [:@] I don't really see how the covers won't allow them too work so who knows.
Dfowler if Gunz isn't interested in those bags could you send me some info on them? Part # what your looking to get etc. Oh and post some pics of that trike conversion BTW all your bikes look great with the bags. I wasn't sure if I wanted them or not but I'm sold now. They look good
