I have the HD multifit overnight bag which mounts over the back rest and sits on the rack. It will hold a change of clothes, laptop, toiletries, and lunch and not much else but works well. Got it on ebay.

For some reason, I just think the RK hard bags don't look right on the FB, too big or something. Don't think they look bad, but that's just my take.

Okay, have to admit I like that setup. Must be the front fender/headlamp combo that makes the bags more proportional and *****, or something.

I have Fox Creek Fatboy bags on my Fatty and I think it looks fine. I plan to modify them so that they can strap to the struts, sit lower and so that I can run a solo bag most of the time. I barely ever use the exhaust-side bag.

thanks, if you ask me it is the only way...I do not like looking at the mounts for the bags.
