Lightbulb Saddle bags for 1998 Fatboy
Anyone recommend some decent waterproof saddle bags that are easy to remove? I only want to use them for long trips. Been doing some research and they really range widely from $50-$750!

Any experience you'd like to share greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Here is the one's I have from Fox Creek. They've held up pretty good the few years I've had them. Just got the throw over, easy on and off. Not too expensive and good quality. These work well with the stock Fatboy pipes that are rather high.

I have a set for sale that may work for you. I bought them off Ebay earlier this year, and then decided to go with a swing arm bag.
