Check out the Sportster bags from Bad&G. The Street backend is similar.

https://badgcustoms.com/bags/harley-davidson/sportster

Also, contact them. They will do custom work for a good price.

So will Sporster bags fit the street? I have purchased my new Street 750 but haven't taken delivery yet. Really want a nice set of bags but I am a first time Harley owner so I am trying to figure out what works and what don't.

I checked some out with a local vendor this past weekend, but I didn't have my bike (was on the pillion this weekend.) I am going to shop probably next weekend. I found a bag I like that I am hoping will work. It looks like it will, and my only concern is how it will lay against the exhaust. If it works, I'll at least post the measurements and pics. My bike is stock.

I didn't go with the local vendor, I bought bags from Cycle Gear (Sedici, slanted - http://www.cyclegear.com/SEDICI-Dist...ant-Saddlebags) and purchased brackets from Cruiser Customizing( http://www.cruisercustomizing.com/sa...t/EZ-STRT-R1DB ) The brackets arrived yesterday, and I will be putting together this weekend. I will let all know how it turns out. I have my doubts, but a friend is helping and advising and thinks it will be great.

Thanks to the help and patience of a good friend, my bags were installed this week. Plus, they went on sale this weekend at Cycle Gear so I brought back my receipt and saved an additional $20. The friend talked me into the brackets that I didn't think I needed, but I love the results and I am glad I did it. I am very happy with the results. Did about a 60 mile test run and had no issues at all. It's a solid set-up.

The Easy Brackets are made for the bike and are worth the investment.

The Easy Brackets, since custom for each bike, make almost any bag a fit. The brackets drill into the bags themselves, and the entire bracket and bags are removable. I should have posted pics of just the hardware when the bags are off. It's a clean look; the bolts are just an extension of the bolts on the fender rail.

The Viking bags and hard side cases for the Sportsters will fit the Street. They have models with a Shock cutout in the front edge to mount the bag closer to the bike. Or you can use their quick disconnect mount, with a plain back case You can even get the Hard cases covered with black leather cover, primed (so you can paint them to match your scoot), or painted black.
