Bags on 2010 Fat Boy
Has anyone put or seen saddle bags on a 2010 Fat Boy Lo? I am thinking about putting some quick release saddle bags on mine but would really like to see what it does to the looks of the bike before spending the money. I am just tired of using the little duffle bag that attaches to the back rest and luggage rack. I like to ride mine without the backrest on it but I am afraid that the saddle bags will look worse than the back rest bag. Can anyone share a picture of one? Thanks and ride often and ride safe.

i just remembered,
if you decide on the bags, a buddy of mine has a bike shop here in ny. ordered a set of harleydavidson fatboy bags and the customer changed his mind.
he's discounting them.
the website for the store is http://www.hogshoppe.com/ http://www.hogshoppe.com/
they have the braiding on them to match the fatboy seat and tank panel, but you can probably save a couple hundred bucks.

I just got my FBL as well and I'm looking at the www.bossbags.com for bags. They offer a phantom release so you can put them on and off in a minute. They're about $1000 for the set (including all the hardware), but I was in HD asking about thier bags and my buddy in service agreed that HD just doesn't offer what bossbags does. I'll spend $800 at HD for bags that aren't quick release or $200 more for what I really want.
As for looks, I'm looking at their basic 38 bag. No extra shiny stuff so it should look perfect on the FBL. I just installed V&H BSS black pipes and the black SE Heavy Breather last night. I'll post a pic later today as well.

I am a dealer for Boss Bags and Leatherworks and can get you guys discounted pricing. I find both of their bags to be far nicer than the Harley brand. They are more expensive, but well worth it. Pm, email or call the shop for pricing. I don't have any pics, but there are people here who have had these bags and they raved about them.
