Default Saddlebags for a Fatboy

Folks, what's the opinions on factory vs. any of the millions out there? Anyone using the factory QD mounts? Issues with them etc? Thanks in advance!

I went with LeatherPros. Kind of pricy but they fit great and look good.
I am very happy with them. They work with the HD docking kit.

I went with HD bags. If you are going to stay with the stock exhaust I think they are about as good(big) as you'll get. If you go to a lower after market exhaust then any bag you want will work. I use the HD quick detach mounts for my sissy bar and bags and think they are great.
