Luggage options
I am commuting rather frequently on my 2010 Street Bob, but the hassle and weight of carrying my stuff in a backpack while riding is starting to bother me.
Are there some cost effective ways to rig up a tail bag or something similar on my bike?
It's all stock, with the 1 up seat and no rack or anything. I was thinking of either going with a sissy bar and bag, or just putting a rack on there and tying a bag to it.
Thanks for any inputs!

I went with a fender rack. It's pretty versatile - can strap a bag to it or just bungee stuff directly to it.

As far as HD's Detachable Solo Rack...
I thought you were looking for cost effective ways, The HD detach Solo Rack is nice but not 'cost effective'. The HD rack can be used to mount really anything you have in mind. Even a pad for two-up.
Heres a couple shots with trunks.. Nice that its quick on and off.

I really didn't know that anyone else made solo racks for the Dyna.
I've since found that Motherwell makes a nice looking one, but they don't look as sturdy as the Harley one.

Don't know which is more sturdy since I only have first hand experience with the Motherwell. I will say that I've had it for a bunch of years now and no problems.

I however, have to agree with jojo2dog as this set-up works great, its just not enough room for overnighters..
