Don't like the look of the leather bags with the buckles as it is not my style. I guess the question here is where can I find some decent priced bags.

I was going to get Harley's hard saddlebags if I had kept my Sportster. Didn't realize they were that much money. They sure do look nice though.

I am looking at the hard viking bags. They make a set that has a lock, leather, hard bags. I have a 09 iron, I think they would look good. I have read some reviews and have not found any horrible reviews. I think they are $315 with everything shipped to the door.

You can buy them colour-coded to match your bike. I considered getting them for my SuperLow, but am also a cheap-skate, so bought some hard leather-look bags instead. They leak like sieves when it rains hard......

What floorboards are you using and are you satisfied with them?

This is my plan, though I'm probablly going to get the burly tall one

I bought a set of Viking Brand Hard saddlebags with the shock cut out. You may like them too!

You might try U.S. Saddlebags too. They do have buckles but they are only for looks as the real closure is hidden behind the straps and are the nylon quick disconnects. The bags lock on the bag frames (sold separately) quick removal when you want and a few other good things I'll let you read about on their site at:
