Default New Deluxe Owner

Hi guys, Recently bought a new Softail Deluxe and new to the forum. My bike is a 2011 Deluxe in dark/light candy root beer. I have bought a nostalgic windshield and engine guard. My next project is saddle bags. Any advice would be helpful.

Welcome to the Family Bro. What do you need advice on? Bags? Or just mods in general. By the way, Beautiful Scoot. Love the color

Bags. Been looking at Boss bags - 34d. Currently I am not changing exhaust so I have to be careful with the bag size

Boss bags are top notch quality. Alot of guys on here have them. You could search some threads on here and prob could find some helpful info.

Thanks, I have visted their site. Bags look very similar to the Boss bags. Tough decision.
