Default Second Harley-First Big Twin

I just bought my new '06 Black Deluxe and I can't believe the difference from my '05 1200 Custom. Now I see why everyone moves up! Anyhow, it's bone stock and I need some ideas on what accessories to add. I want detachable bags, not too big or too small, but must be detachable. I'm in no hurry for the stage one, but will get it done before summer. I love the nostalgic look of the bike, which is why I bought it, so I want to stay with this theme. I looked at all the pics last night and my eyes were killing me after all those hours, but I am still at a loss for which bags to go with. Please help, and thanks. Jon

Hi & welcome to the forum. I recently moved up from a '95 1200 Sportster to an '06 Electra Glide Standard and you're right...I can't believe the difference. I've got about 175 miles on it and I'm chomping at the bit to get on the road.
