Bagless ?
Hello all,
I am new to the forum so please excuse any dumb questions. I have a 14 street glide special and I have always wanted to go bagless with a bigger rear tire. I found an eglide that looked really slick but I can't find out where to buy this rear fender. Help !?!?!

I can't see the pic- generally the HD touring frame doesn;t look so nice when exposed.
I have seen attempts at duct taping on wastepaper baskets in place of the side covers, adding scoops, scallops and glitter...but an ugly ducking is the result.
it can be possible to take a Dyna or FXR type frame and put on a larger front end with or without a fairing.
I'd suggest that you continue to look at catalog and bike mags, pics online and over time you will find styling ideas that really are "you"- however alot of those bikes are not so rideable.
a company called FBI makes a bolt on drop seat rear subframe for the touring bikes, have a look at some of those.
welcome to the forums

You'll have to change a few pieces to make it look good and functional if you want to go with bags again. Better yet, just get a Softail and add a detachable fairing.
