Check out the Leatherworks bags for the Deluxe. I put these on my Wifes Deluxe with Stock Pipes. They are large, durable, and really well made. The styling matches the seat almost excatly.

here is a pic, and the link http://www.sideroadcycles.com/Import...ks/120Bag.html

And Ironbagsbags come with hardware that works with detachable systems, I didn't use them because I can not think of a time I want to take them off.

Exactly and with this kind of mounting hardware and their solid back plates, there's no meezly 15lb limitation on what you can load.. Pretty much if it doesn't tip the bike over these bags will haul it.

Another vote for Boss bags. Very high quality bags -- but you DO pay for it.

They look great on the bike and, if you want to cruise without them, take 15 seconds to remove. You just have the little mounting studs sticking out. Boss has little chrome covers for them, but $80.00 was just a little too steep for me.

Sonar Chris,

Is that the Iowa BB-61? I was stationed aboard that ship back in the mid 80's talk about some serious firepower.
You are right thats the Missouri all right. I joined the Navy after the era of the battle ship but I could help but use one for my sig pic. Besides everyone knows what a Battleship is.

As Babs and Tmitchel have said, Ironbags are one of the greatlest. I have had boss bags on my last bike and if you really want the quick detach go for the boss bags, but I think that the quality and functionality of the Iron Bags is much, much better.


Chris
