Default Saddlebags

Does anyone know of or can anyone recommend a set of decent saddlebags (not the throw-over type) that would not require relocating the turnsignals on my 06 883XL? Would consider both hard and soft bags. Thanks.

Harley Davidson makes two sets of nice leather bags for the Sportster. The three buckle configuration does require relocating the turn signals but the two buckle ones don't. I have them on my 1200 C and to me they're the best looking bags you can put on a Sportster. They're a bit pricey but to me they were worth it.

Don't let the turnsignal thing keep you from getting nice bags. It is easy and painless to do.
