I got the HD detachable bags along with their turn signal relocating set.
There are less expensive bags out there, but these work well for me and take seconds to snap on and off.
Still eying up that street glide, but it's tough to justify 2 bikes with our winters and I don't want to part with the Lo.

But like others said, I hear the FB is a lot more comfortable to ride over long distances vs the slim.
