I ordered the bags from HogDeluxe IMHO they maintain the nostalgic look of the bike and also come with all the quick detachable hardware.

Also these bags are specifcally designed to fit the Deluxe perfectly so they dont look like a bolt on.

Thanks.
The HD detachable bags look and work great - remove/install in minutes.

+1 on the Hog Deluxe bags. Plus he's a sponser here now I believe so you can probably get a small discount.

I also agree with above that the HD OEM bags look great and match but they're way too small. They came on our Deluxe and we're thinking of selling them to get the Hog Deluxe bags.

I thank you all guys for the feedback.
Now it's time to contemplate which one I should choose. I do agree that Osprey's do look awesome and their bags are reasonably priced.

I like my osprey bags, but it depends on your exhaust set up whether you can run them or not. I scrapped the E-Z brackets and made a brace out of sheet metal and hard mounted them to my fender struts. Works for me! Good luck on your choice.

Anything with quick-release brackets like Easy Brackets or Ghost Brackets will allow you to take them on and off with ease. I studied all of the hardbag options for months. Finally went with Hardstreets. Decent amount of space, lockable and they work with stock pipes (which I happen to like).
