Default Bags for a Fatboy

I'm in the market to buy some saddlebags for my 07 Fatboy, my question is what do you think are the best looking bags for a fatboy?

Go to http://www.willieandmax.com/. I bought these bags from them http://www.willieandmax.com/categori...?item=58736-20 for my Fat Boy and really liked them a lot. I also bought the ez-brackets from them and they were well worth the money as well. There was no way I was going to use "throw-over" bags on my rear fender.

Check out Boss bags and Iron bags. Sorry, I can't afford them at the moment but they make some really nice stuff...

I went with LeatherPros. Look good and fit right. You can use them with the HD docking system.

Osprey Bull Bags. They even come with the ez brackets for about $450. They're made very well, too.

I had a set of throwovers custom made by Cellar Dweller Leathers using measurements from the Fox Creek fatboy saddlebags. I've got an 07 Fatboy with stock pipes and I'm very pleased with the way they look and how they've held up. Communication from start to finish was very good, the bags were made and delivered very quickly, and the price was great.

I've had a lot of compliments on them and quickly handed out the business cards that came with the bags so now I just keep a copy of the website url on a postit in my wallet so I remember it when people ask. You can see a picture of the bags on the site if you go here. I can't find any of my pics of them on the bike, but here's some that were sent to me before shipment. The color now is a slight bit darker and richer from the saddle soap.

I have Kury throw-overs, but they're about worn out, so I'm thinking about trying to mount a set of RKC bags. Just have to get over the price AND the worry that the HD mounting system won't work on my 07.
