As far as I know, no one here has a problem dragging. Just a matter of finding the bag you like.

I'm partial to the Garage Leathers swing arm bags (I the one I'd been eyeing for 2 years off a forum member for a great deal), but Dr. V-Twin can get you a great deal on the Leatherworks bags.

+1 on the 5" Leather Works bag. I may have scrapped it once...but it's a great bag and holds just enough.

I added a HD lock to my 3" Leather Works bag.
you can get the locks key coded to match your key or just get the non-coded one.
MSRP $49.95 or $38.72 @ Zanotti's.
