What are you looking to carry, what function is it you need? That will determine the solution. Solo bags, fork mount bags, downtube bags each are very small and dont give you much storage. Here in Colorado rain and even snow storms can roll it on a 80 degree and sunny day so we like to bring lots of gear. Full bags are pretty much a must. Once you get used to having the space, you will wonder how you ever got by without em.

I have hard bags as I ride a Road Glide now, traded my fatbob in. I am absolutely loving how much I can bring in my 2 hard bags. I laugh at my buddy trying to squish 1 sweatshirt into his fork mounted bag, which is not stretched and falling apart as he is always trying to fit more in it than what it was designed for.

I used to ride a 06 electra glide, so I know the benefits of big bags! but now I ride a 13 street bob I like the fact of the bobber and minimal bags. I currently have a battery cover bag and I just picked up a down tube bag for carrying tools and smalls. I am looking to get a left side or right side or maybe both swing arm bags only for long trips. I think thats what I'm mainly looking for. If anyone has pictures that would be great!5
