Question CROSSBONES OWNERS, can you give some ideas on saddlebags for me?

Im looking at some hard style bags to put on, i have a super low fat cat exhaust so really don't need small bags,, there is SOOOO many different ones to choose from,, does anyone have any they have used they can recommend? not the 600$$ hd bags ,, I'm not to crazy about them for that kind of money,,, there is auburn leather bags,,, tons of different universal ones on ebay.. used hd bags etc... thanks for any info and pics you may have...

I have a '11 bones and I was looking for a few as well. I really like the HD ones for the blackline but it says they wont work for the bones but you're right on the price $600 is too much. Those bags for $370 look great, whats the storage capacity on them?

Default Bags?

I looked hard at pretty much everything out there, finally decided I liked the look of the bike better. Put on a single swing arm bag on and if I'm going on a trip, Have a DryBag, strap it to the fender if I'm running solo or sissy bar if I put the p-pad on. Drybag is spendy, but nothing inside and I mean absolutely nothing gets wet.
