Myself, I like the stock (FLHT) style hard bags. Get the kit that mounts those.

The choice was easy for me back in 02 when I built my own brackets and installed ex-police FLH bags on my then Fatboy.

I seen a set that follows the contour of the tail which were pretty neat but dont know of the quality, after all they are not HD, and a set like on fatboylust which is right above this post, some with brake lights and some without. quick release or not.
