Leather Pro makes a setup for a Duece.
It has two pictures of different sizes.

Look at the bottom of this page:

Hmm those are pretty nice. Much better than the HD ones, they make it look likea BMW.

I think if I had to have bags on mine I'd be all over the Leather Pro setup.

I have the HD bags. They were expensive. They don't look particularly good in my opinion, but there aren't too many other options. They are well made and practical however.

Those are ok, I didn't know HD had leather bags. I was thinking of the hard bags HD makes for the Deuce.

Ah- now I get the BMW comment. Yeah, the hard bags are really strange looking in my opinion.

The leather Harley bags were about $650 back in 2002 when I bought them. The price is probably about the same now as the other manufacturer that was mentioned.

Here's shots of the Harley bags. Check on Ebay for a lower price, especially if you want the Aniversary bags with the badges

Maybe it's just me but I never liked the look of any type of saddle bags on a Deuce. Instead I used to use the SAC bag that slips over the top of the passenger seat backrest and sits on top of the luggage rack. This bag is also much less expensive than saddlebags and you can haul quite a bit of stuff in it too. T-Bags also makes this type of bag as well.

ST Deuce, you might want to at least have a look at them for comparison before you buy any saddlebags.

I have the leather pro bags. I like them a lot. Easy on/off in less than a minute, and they are large enough to actually hold something. The mounting bracket goes inside the fender so you only see the two posts when the bags are off, looks much better than the Ghost Brackets. I think they use a modified stock Harley bracket, so there isn't room for a larger tire.
