Dyna "bagger" convertible
My own conversion to a convertible bagger was done using mostly items I bought used:
Throw-over leather saddlebags $140.
Q/R windshield, $180.
The throw-over bags are so simple and light; mine are on the large side, barely fitting the space provided, but required neither the metal guards nor moving tail-lights. For multi-day trips I add a T-Bag ($115) to my sissy-bar; I prefer this easy convertible soft storage over a permanently-mounted tour-pack and hard bags. And I feel that their look is compatible with the Dyna; my bike has kind of a utilitarian tomboyish, hoodlum, or hillbilly look to it, but the Dyna is so flexible a platform for customizing that virtually any look can be achieved, and many extremes appear not to be.
Another "bagger" feature I added (see photo) was a GPS ($200 new), which is an essential accessory for the wilderness-area trekking that constitutes most of my riding. It is quite impractical to buy/carry sufficient large-scale maps for largely unplanned, carefree multi-day trips, and the gas-station or emergency-services locator feature could be a life-saver when riding off the grid. (I also normally carry regional, state, and USA atlas maps.)
Finally, the addition of a $12 (new) rubber Kury "cruise control" throttle aid helps with hand numbness. This item is too important to pigeonhole it as bagger-gear, but I want to pass along the tip for everyone's benefit.
The Dyna makes an affordable, nimble, easily-handled convertible bagger.
