Default saddlebags

I have a 2012 wideglide. What saddlebags look good and fit. I know I will probably have to relocate the license plate. Thanks

Might as well start looking and pricing 'em up now. Here's one company that makes Dyna bags. Boss Bags
You shouldn't have to relocate your license plate. You may have to relocate your rear turn signals though, depending on the size bag you decide on. You'll get plenty of suggestions as the thread progresses.

Have you checked the HD catalog? They have a few that look good and fit and the prices are comparable to other brands.

These are the Leather Pro ones. They are good quality. There are a few smalls flaws but they are a handmade sturdy product....

There are a ton of manufacturers that make saddlebags. From companies like Willie & Max and Saddlemen that make bags that are more cost effective to Leather Pro and Boss Bags (on my bike) that make more expensive bags. Not to mention the HD branded bags. That doesn't include the custom made bags you can get.

I would guess there are probably close to 50 different bags that will fit your bags. You really just have to decide how much, what style and how big you want.

Very true. The thing that set the Leather Pros over for me was the fact that you didn't have to relocate the signals and they include a license plate relocation bracket...
