Default 05 Deuce storage solutions

Just bought my first bike, it's an 05 Deuce. Pretty much stock so far, but I'm looking to add some storage on it. I have the stock Deuce bag that mounts on the short back rest and luggage rack, but it isn't the best looking thing on the bike. I don't think saddle bags are for me on this bike, but I would like someplace to put stuff when I'm out riding with the wife (her purse) or taking it to work and carrying some small items like my lunch and some work clothes. I looked at the chrome tubes, they look to small. I like the swing arm bag idea, but who makes the nicest ones that will match the bike? I need to keep the rear peg on for her too if that's possible. I tried the search feature, but some pictures I don't have access to for some reason and others have been removed becsause the users Flickr account or whatever is inactive. If anyone has anyone pictures mounted on a Deuce I would appreciate it. I was thinking of adding the chrome tool boxes, but I don't think they hold much. I just want a place to put my phone, hat, registration crap, and a few small things. Thanks for any help.

No problem with the foot peg on that side or should I extend it out?

Default Leatherworks Bag

Just got my swingarm bag from leatherworks today. Just installed it on my 2000 Deuce with no problems. No mods necessary, and I think it looks great. Hope this helps.

Thanks, I got the 3" wide Leatherworks Chopper bag solo and the "95" round tool bag from DR. V-Twin. Nice guy to deal with.
