RE: Fatboy saddlebags
I put a set of these on my 04 fatboy and they've worked pretty nicely.

likes.. They're hard leather with a flip up lid that stays open and lockable. They mounted easy with two bolts into the struts without a third mount on the frame somewhere like heritage bags.
dislikes.. They're could be larger.. The mounting hardware could be a little cleaner. They're expensive, as is any harley product.
How do they look?.. ok.. to be quite honest, I don't think any bags look all that good on a fatboy. It's almost as if that bike was meant to stay completely naked. I'm "tolerating" the look of the bags on the bike. My wife keeps saying.. "get the roadking.."

RE: Fatboy saddlebags
I have just purchased a set of these:

They were quite pricey even after buying them tax free from Guernsey- looks like they are cheaper in the States.
They look well made though and the only thing I need is a bike to attach them too- I understand that my new Fatboy is on a ship mid-Atlantic somewhere!

What in the holy name of Harley Davidson makes these things so expensive? I like the look and all but what is it about the saddle bags that makes them cost so very much. Just those fat boy bags will be more than all the other mods I have put on so far all put together.

I have a 05 Fatboy and purchased the "large" set from the Harley Dealer. They have a small Fatboy logo on the side of the bag. They were $599.
I am about like Babs, the Fatboy doesn't look all that good with a set of bags. I got them to just to have some place to carry all the "stuff".

I'll testify to that! Though I dislike any bags on a Fat Boy, I've come to view them as a necessary evil for things like extra gloves, glasses, jacket, etc. When you leave in the morning and ride all day and get home after dark, you never know what the weather will bring.
