. If it works for what you need it to, who cares what it looks like. I dont think it looks bad for what it is.

Touring set up mock up. Need feedback
Im indifferent. I like it for the functionality. But not sure about the look. I don't have a fortune in it luckily. Let me hear your thoughts. Not anything about how this doesn't belong on the bike because I understand it looks better stripped down.

Hey, for a two up touring set up I think you have it. I am with you, I am not sure I like the look, but to go on a long trip, two up, you have to sacrifice something. Maybe have some pinstripping done that flows into the bags, and when you pull them it follows underneath on the rear fender.
I try to keep my windshield off as much as I can (I don't even have a picture with it on), but it sure is nice when going the distance. I have been eyeballing those batwing fairings and use the quick release clamps I have, now that the front is lowered it might look okay.
I have to figure out what to use for bags on mine now. I am thinking one of the Saddlemen's tail bags might work.

I don't see a problem with the hardbags and windshield at all. Passenger backrest and top case have the tendency to make a bike look butt heavy, but in your case the apes balance it out visually. Beautiful touring set up imho.

Not a fan of hard bags on a Dyna, but for touring having the space is king. Looks good for it's intended purpose.

It's all removable! So, where did you go wrong? I think it looks great and will function well.
I am trying to get a setup like this minus the touring bag in the back, I have a tall boy saddlemen bag for that. $$$ is my hold up right now.
