Default Help with replacement saddle bags

I'm trying to find a set of replacement saddle bags for a 01 Heritage. I'm looking for a bag that will lock and stores more than the original bags. I would also like to have them be a direct replacement no drilling etc. and work with my luggage rack and sissy bar.

I checked Viking bags and they don't lock unless you use a pad lock. There is also drilling and he wasn't sure if they would work with luggage rack and sissy bar.

I would be grateful for any ideas / suggestions.

Mike

Most of our bags do lock, but for the heritage, all will require drilling. If you end up not finding what you are looking for and need suggestions on our bags, let me know.

Are you wanting soft bags? if not I'd put some hard bags on it with a conversion kit, there are a couple of them out there.
I feel allot better now that I have hard bags I can lock up.

I ordered the leather hard bags from Viking and yes, I will feel much better with them being locked. Your bags look great where did you get them?
