Default Any suggestions?

Looking at getting some removable saddlebags for my 2010 Fatboy. The bike will have black Vance and Hines Big shots staggered, and I am going for the blackout look with just a wee bit of chrome to break it up? So just looking for some ideas on saddlebags? Looked at HD but not really much to choose from! If you have a Fatboy with bags can you post me some pics? Cheers!

Love my setup of Fox Creek Fatboy saddlebags with Easy Brackets. Review: https://www.hdforums.com/forum/produ...addlebags.html

I put on the HD rigid leather bags ... did not use removeable hardware ... but its available. The bags are tiny ... cause they accommodate the muffs and the lights ... only set me back $625 on fleaBay.

Leatherworks, Boss Bags, Hog Deluxe, etc., there are numerous other choices for you.

Look again, your not getting any bag on that left side (or right side depending on your perspective, either way the throttle side). Exhaust is to high.

No offense to anyone with Easy Brackets but that big steel mounting bracket sits too far out for me as far as looks go.

I'm thinking about the new 3200 series Leatherpro bags that offers a minimal extension that bolts up off existing HD detachable points.
