Saddlebags

As much as I dont want to ruin the look of my Dyna, I'm making the move to saddlebags. I guess it looks better than having a backpack and with the rides Iv been doing lately its time. The only bag that I remotely like is the LaRosa bag that is apparently a swing arm for the left side. My question is If i get the pair that are used for the softtail along with the bag bracket will it fit once I move the taillight? Has anyone done this and how does it look. I tried to look up threads on this, but i couldn't find any. The other problem is it is an 01.
Thanks

Once you move the turn signals, why don't you go for a dyna bag? J and P has several, as well as some easy off mounts that should fit your dyna. I know I've been looking for my dyna wide glide (01)' and they had stuff that'd work for me...

Have you concidered a fender rack & a rollbag? This is just a 9" bag and they make bigger ones. You don't realy need a sissybar to use them eighter.

Get throw over bags. Problem solved.
Take them off when you aren't traveling.

Saddlemen makes some really nice saddle bags that blend well with the Dyna and when removed you can't tell that you ever had bags on.
Check out the Cruis'n Slants:

Also the Cruis'n Deluxe:

I have a buddy who has the Cruis'n Slants on a Heritage with their Quick disclonnect kit:

Also check out the Vikings:

They actually make a shock cut out bag specifically for Dynas and like the Saddlemen they offer a Quick disconnect that leaves the bike look like it never had bags when they are off.
They actually have photos of the installed on a FXDF:

I'm with you. I have a gorgeous Wide Glide and I really don't want to "ruin" the good looks, but I would like a small inconspicuous bag - something like a little "imbedded" swing arm bag, but not for over $200! Just something to put a few things in, but basically bigger than my jacket pocket, and not stand out.
