Cargo space for 2010 FXDWG
I'm trying to figure out a good solution to add some cargo space to my 2010 FXDWG. Dont really want to spend a ton of money and dont want to relocate my license plate. I was thinking "Tbags" and I'm also interested in "throwover" saddlebags. Does anyone have these? I guess the "throwovers" dont really mount securely? Any info that is provided is much appreciated...
I saw these http://www.thunderpress.net/MONTH_AR...WG/FXDWG.shtml which look pretty cool but dont know anything about them. thx!

Check out Lick's solo bag. A bit pricey but best I've found (Thanks Drew!)

If you gonna get Throwover bags make sure you get slanted bags, Check www.motorcycle-superstore.com. measure between rear of shock and front of rear signals for fitment
I'll go with these Medium size

Quite a few people recommend these. Sturdy and practical. Something I was looking at for a while.

Here's my setup. It's about as cheap as you can get but this rig has served me very well. I use different bag combinations depending on whether my wife is traveling with me or not.
The slanted saddlebags look better, but for the same width don't have as much space. My throwovers get full quick as it is. The topbag has a deceptively large amount of room.
Oh yeah you need to relocate your turn signals for pretty much any big throwovers but I could be wrong.

adding storage
The attached photo shows a version of my Super Glide packed for camping-out, hillbilly style, for the multi-day trips I take, at altitudes from sea-level to +10,000 feet.
Generally, my throw-over bags hold the heaviest stuff: water, tools & emergency/maintenance items & spares, foul-weather gear & heavier spare clothing, stove + cooking gear, toiletries, maps... They are just slung over the passenger seat and stuffed up against the shocks; there was no need to install guards.
Sissy-bar-mounted T-bag holds: tent, blow-up mattress, lighter spare clothing/layers, pocket camera & tripod, dehydrated food and snacks, head-lamp, pen-light, 1st-aid kit, lighter, TP, large trash-bag, Velcro bungee straps...
Forward of that, a small leather backpack forms a luxurious backrest which I pack with lighter spare clothes, towel, Microfiber cloth...
Behind the T-bag, the sleeping bag (in stuff-sack) jams between the sissy-bar and license-plate. Above that is a 35mm film SLR w/ film in its' own padded bag.
Additionally, I store a small accessory bag containing rain-gear and heated jacket liner. This bag can be easily attached to the main T-bag, if extra space is needed.
You REALLY notice the raised center of gravity, so it's important to keep the heaviest stuff low.
Edit: to add that I have purchased police-style hard-bags (for the rain-proof, lockable storage) & turn-signal relocation hardware, and plan to replace the throw-overs this winter, along with a few other small mods.
