Heres my 91 Sportster. I dont consider it a bagger but i never take the saddlebags off so maybe it qualifys. I use them and can't imagine not having them on my bike. They hold rain gear, pieces of rope, and few others things I like to have with me. I also need that space to put stuff when I go to the stores. And if I'm going for long trip those bags are packet to the max.
