I ride BMW's also and they all have hard luggage so I've been spoiled. I was considering some kind of hard luggage for my FXDX but couldn't find any that I really liked. (This was three years ago though) I settled on Boss Bags. They are both lockable and quick release removable. They are like some of Harley's bags, leather covered, semi-rigid plastic case. They are considered expensive at something like $700 but I've been numbed by BMW accessory prices. As far as a recommendation, if I were buying a new Dyna I'd do these bags again.

Here's a better picture as was leaving for Colorado. As you can see, the straps have enough length to allow something like a rolled Thermarest or sleeping bag to be secured on top of the bag. This also makes it level with the fender rack.

Saddlemen Item Number 3501-0232. I'm very pleased. Hard plastic bucket, vinyl outside, looks like leather to me.

I would have to STRONGLY disagree with your assessment. Before you say I should have bought an Ultra, my Wide Glide has more leg room than any Ultra or Street Glide I have ever been on.

Besides I have the bike I wanted not the one that Harley Davidson said I should want. I think she looks pretty good sitting still or going down the road.

Just my $.02
