Maybe try the Licks solo bags http://www.lickscycles.com/catalog/s...php?page_id=67 . I have these on 11 Superlow and put the HD saddlebag locks on and really like.
Or XL1200 pony express bags http://xl1200.com/pony_express_saddle_bags (also on ebay, not cheap but I've seen on the Iron and they look good).
I was leaning forward too (height challenged LOL). Was going to get risers or apes but after pulling the bars back/down as much as I could and it was enough to make me sit upright.

Thanks! I LOVE getting motorcycle parts for those "special" occasions i.e.- anniversary, christmas, birthday, lol. The fact that you bought her a bike for your anniversary is awesome!

Hope my better half isn't reading this post. I'll be further in the dog house. I can hear her now, "Where's my bike I've been asking for the last 3 years? Oh yeah I forgot you keep buying new ones for yourself." I'm screwed. BTW - nice looking bike and Happy Anniversary!

We've been together for 4 years and she's always been behind me and saying how much she really wants to learn to ride and she's tearin it up lemme tell ya!
When she's road worthy for distance I'll buy her a Dyna or something bigger and she can help pack **** to Sturgis instead of trying to overload my bike.
But trust me if you do get her one she'll be the happiest woman you've ever seen and she might do things to to you that would frighten fish!
