Default Hard bags on a Fat Boy

I have been thinking about swapping my throw-over leather saddle bags for a set of hard ones, but I'm not sure how it would look. Has anyone mounted a set on their bike? I'm also fairly certain the rear blinkers will be in the way and have to be moved. If someone has done this, I would love to see a photo or two.

Here's what I did to my Deluxe. Same bags will work on a FB and I don't think you have to move anything. They're made by Hardstreet and mine are detachable.

I've been looking at a set from Leather pros http://leatherpros.com/website1_003.htm they are lockable and re-enforced with a leather wrap.
Just replace the exhaust on my '99 Fatboy with Cobra HP Pro 2:1 to give me more room for bigger bags
Anyone have any experience with these bags???
