I like it better for sure. But I love the utility of the bags.

Not exactly “today”, but in the last three weeks.
Bought this 2019 Deluxe used w 312 miles.

So far... Stage 2; V&H BSS, SE air cleaner under stock cover, Torque Cam, SE Pro Street Tuner.

Chrome: floorboards, brake foot pedal, toe/heel shifter, Controls, Front break caliper, passing light covers, fork lowers, WW1 Knuckle bars, flush tanks caps, 1961 retro emblem, Magnum SS cables.

New corbin seat ordered.
Still trying to decide on wheels, rotors, pulley. Prob Ride Wright but staying stock size.
Also lowering kit?

Leather Pros. Can't remember the model but built specifically for the Deluxe and Heritage. Recommended. They use their own quick detach system that is also compatible with HD HoldFast. Good leather, lockable, decent space.

Got a new bag from Nelson Rigg last week. I needed some easily removable storage that didn’t require the separate purchase of a sissy bar and/or luggage rack.
Finally back with my bike and got it mounted (sits on passenger seat) using the underseat attachment they sell. Normally this dry bag is made for adventure type bikes, but it mounts well to my sport glide with the under seat attachment and comes off easily when I need to remove it. The lashing straps get tucked away when not in use. Nice way to add non permanent storage. Bag and lashing straps were $100, under seat attachment was $20 and it makes for a nice waterproof duffel when not on the bike. Can store a decent amount in there too. Ended up running the rear lashing straps around the mounting hardware between the fender strut and the bags and this bag isn’t going anywhere.

I've had very good luck with Nelson Rigg stuff over the years. Good quality at a good price point. Running straps to the fender struts was the first thing I thought of when I saw your pic.

Nice thing about a bag like that is that you can carry bulky stuff that won't go inside your Sport Glide bags. I just put HD's rack on my sissy bar to let me carry another bag when I have a passenger.
