Getting First Harley...
Otherwise, you can hard mount the saddlebags and have them attached to your bike. Throwovers will scratch the paint, but for some people thats not too bad of a price to pay to allow it to be removed.

Thank you very much for the advice and info. Now I just have to figure out exactly what "full stage 1" means and what it does since the dealer told me "it has full stage 1." He acted like it was cool but I was clueless LoL

Yea they rape you on the extras and don't let you take them off. I paid $21K for my street bob out the door. But in 2008 trying to find a street bob in stock was nearly impossible. But I sat on it and it fit like a glove and bought it anyways. Included in the price was the paint job which was $4500, forward controls, blacked out levers and those crappy screaming eagle slip ons. I tried to get those swapped but they didn't budge. Fact is even though my bike would have been paid off by now if I paid the normal price of a SB, I love my bike and it's still different and I haven't seen another one set up the same in person. The day I bought it price didn't even cross my mind. I actually went in for a night train! After checking out three more bikes I bought the SB and glad I did!! And welcome to the Harley side!! And the modding never ends!! Almost 6 years and I'm still not done....lol!
