Fatboy Saddlebag Question from a FNG

First off, I am a FNG to this site.. So if I am messing up, I hope one of you veterans of the site square me away please.. I just bought a 99 Fatboy about a week ago... And It has some ugly throw over saddlebags that look like they belong on a plastic rice rocket.. I have spent the last 3 days trying to find some large and fat saddlebags for my fatboy... But keep coming up short.. So I guess my question is what is the largest bolt on or detachable saddlebags can a fatboy get away with?

I have included some pics of the beautifully ugly bike that I have acquired... The minigun exhaust is no longer on the bike and I went with some 14" chubby bars... Thats all the changes I have done so far...

Thanks for any help/ info you guys have to offer..

Bags

You can find tons of bags. I am building one based on a 1998 softail, and I am putting Harley extended hard bags on my with the lights built in them and pipe cutouts. You can brackets from Dr. Vtwin on here and you can put any hard or soft harley bag on there. Sumax sells a bunch of different kinds of bags for the bikes.
