Tour Master throw over saddle bags. Custom made for Dynas?
#22
You get those TourMaster bags yet? I just got some Willie & Max Raptor Compact Slant. They are very small and I think they'll fit great. Gonna try to install them tonight, I'll get some pix when I do. Can't carry a lot, but me and the wife just wanted to be able to take a few small things with us on all-day rides.

New Throwover Bags from Donscycleware
Don't know if anyone has tried these bags but they are suppose to be made for Dynas, no turn signal re-location, 11" x 10" x 9", slant style, all leather. $149.
I came close to ordering them but I decided to do the turn signal relocation and mounted a larger set of bags. The signal relocation is not as bad as it sounds, if you just cut the wires solder and shrink wrap, took me about 40min ,with a coffee break.

I have a Tourmaster sissy bar bag, the extra large one. I think it's just great. Not only does it hold a lot in the main bag but it can be divided into different compartments and there are three large zippered pockets on the outside that hold extra stuff.
I have been thinking about getting a set of the XL throw over bags but I would like to see how the look on a Dyna.

I have the tourmaster throwover bags that you're getting, and although I do wish they were bigger, they fit perfectly in between the rear signal and shocks. Great for a hoodie and some odds and ends for a day trip, but not much more. Someday I may look into some larger hard bags. For now, they do just fine. Quality wise, they're just dandy..

I have the Tourmaster NON-SLANT Extra Large bags on my Dyna. By adjusting the laced yoke,
I was able to get them to ride in such a manner as to clear the shocks and relocated turn
signals... JUST!!! It was REAL tight. As you can see, they sat at a noticeable tilt but it all worked.
Since then I went with Edge brackets and converted the bags to clip-ons with a sheet of
reinforcing aluminum fitted inside the bags. Works perfectly but since they now sit
flat, they had to be mounted higher than normal to clear the shocks as can be seen in
this pic..
I find the extra size extremely handy in all sorts of touring situations and despite sitting
high, they have no noticeable effect on the bike's balance. I only mount them when
I need them but they slip right on and off in seconds.
Oh, yeah... who says you can't tour on a Dyna? I spent 10 days on it in that lower
configuration and it worked great...
