Default Hardbags on a Night Train

So the lady wants to take some trips on the new bike this summer, and I'm thinking I may need a but more storage than a backpack and security than a seabag strapped on a sissy bar...
Anyone make hardbags that would fit/look right on my 07 'Train?

Did not check the classifieds... ill head over there soon. I was hoping for a link to a company or dealer that I could use to get an idea on what they look like on the bike.

The bagger tail only lists the FLST softails. I would imagine this is because of the support bracket that goes across the back under the long fender.

I bought a set of Hardstreet Pro Builder's bags(unpainted) for my FXST. They give me a lot of secure,lockable storage for trips. They come off with 2 bolts. Looks are subjective.

An FX softail? I am not sure. I might add a longer fender like a fatboy rear fender and sue the bagger tail.

My train doesn't really look like this anymore, but when my wife and I take a long trip I throw a t-bag set up on and some soft bags. Bought the small luggage rack and drilled two holes thru some cheap o saddle bags (cycle gear I believe) and mounted them with my quick detach hardware for the sissy bar. Where ever we slept after a long ride just took the t-bag off.

Default 02 Night Train Tail Bagger

It is doable. My 02 Night Train ongoing project. I have a bit more chrome to remove, and maybe the addition of a batwing. Really needed the hard bags for when the wife and I ride together and they have made for more enjoyable trips.
