I use cycle vision's barebacks, they work great and they don't make your bags stick out. You can buy them on ebay for 70 bucks and free shipping. You still have to buy the detach kit for your sissy bar and side plates if you wanna take it off but you have to buy it all seperately anyway.

Fat Boy Lo with HD detachables
I did go the HD route with the attachments that included Docking Hardware, Saddlebags and Sissy bar/pad. Personally I like the way my bike looks without any bags or bars, but the need to carry items prompted me to have that ability. The system is really easy to use once on. It takes less than a minute to put the bags on. Same for the sissy bar. My One complaint on the bags are that they are not wide enough. I cant get a half helmet in there! Its formed plastic with nice leather covering it. You can get a lot of raingear and clothes in there. Good luck and Hope these pix help.

Questions
What type of bags do you use and does it have any other attatchments on the bike when the bags are on(other brackets). Where did you get the docking kit also, any info would be appreciated.

Look at the passenger pegs
I've attached some pix of the location of the saddlebags in relation to the footpegs (Sorry about the fuzziness). HD does warn that passenger floorboards can't be used with these saddlebags. It appears they can, but I haven't made that jump yet. You may want to look closely at the passenger footboards attachment site before proceeding.

One question: the barebacks allow the bags to be removed from outside? I mean, even if lock the bag with some lock device, the bags can still be removed?
