dyna bagger
My set up is similar however with the Road Glide Fairing and using the Cavalry Fiberglass bags and mounts.
I also just picked up a set of HD repo bags in fiberglass for under $200 including shipping on ebay. I will of course need to source a set of HD latches and hardware so that is next on the list along with a set of Cyclevision mounts for the Dyna.
I plan on doing a cutout releif for the shock so that the bags can be sort of frenched in closer and then find a non-drilled 8.5" wide steel full fender which I will do a frenched in taillight and turn signal set up with filler panels to complete the conversion.

if you could divulge your secret.... is the rear cargo seat an aftermarket, or did you modify an Ultra Classic seat to fit the dyna sissy bar mounts?
After putting up with the peice if crap Cavalry mounts I changed to the CycleVision mount kit and their bags with a set of lids from eBay. I had to do some fabrication to alter the cross brace to mate up with the FLHX rear fender which I modified to fit the FXDF. Really happy with the setup.

I have my red FXR with shovelhead "King of the Road" bags I bought brand new in 1986 on blow out clearance for my brand new 1986 Softail Super Custom along with a tour pack. Fast forward until 2003 and I made the brackets to fit than installed them here. I use the bike for cornering and raised the bags up so they do not scrape. These are the same type as Joe has on his bike.
I crashed my 2005 Dyna last December and I am now re-building it. The bike sustained very little damage except sheet metal unlike me. I installed Fatbob trees, 16" carbon Fiber wheels with 130mm high profile tires, composite front and rear fenders. I am in the process now of cutting off the rear struts and moving the out bound to accept a 8" wide rear fender with frenched license plate and tear drop rear LED light. I am re-enforcing the rear of the fender to accept the bobens for the rear Switchback saddlebag brackets. I purchased a pair of new Switchback bags that I must repaint to match. I am using the same mounting system as the switchback but I am adding a luggage rack for a duffel bag just like I did on my FXR. I added this to do this (below)
