who has bags and windshield on a superglide?
Do you like what you have and the way it looks?
I was thinking about trading my 06 superglide in on a heriage softail in the spring, but leaning towards keeping it a bit and adding bags, windshield forward controls etc.
Wondering if there are others who have changed their superglides like this and if you were happy with it.

I had bags and shield on my Superglide. Was never happy with the setup. Bags to small, shield not shielding enough, seat not right, most of all I wanted floorboards. Looked into boards was worried after doing them I wouldn't be happy just like the bags that just didn't quite fit my use. I ended trading to a Road King and am very very happy I made this move. The Superglide was/is a great bike, just not for what I do most.

I'm using the HD leather bags (pricey) with EZ brackets, QD windshield and WG fwd controls on my 02 FXD. That's what you asked about, I also have the sundowner deep bucket seat, HD sissy bar w/smooth bucket low backrest pad and the four bar luggage rack. The bike can be loaded down for trips or stripped lean for the boulevard. My 05 L/R is solo riding only. I used the HD products because they seem to be designed with the bike in mind and I'm very satisfied.

As soon as I got home, I pulled the windshield, bags, sissybar, etc. off it and ran it around town "naked."

I have an 08 FXDC and have a National Cycle wind screen and Willie & Max bags on her. You can see a pic in my avatar with better ones in my profile pictures. While the pictures are older and don't reflect my Mustang seat or 6" pullback risers with Lowrider bars, you can get a good idea of what the wind screen looks like on the bike. It's pretty minimal, easy to remove and does exactly what I want it to do -- reduce the wind and keep most of the road crap off of me. One of the other nice things about the combo is that it's relatively inexpensive. As for durability, I've had both for 11 years now and they're still going strong. Previously I had them on my '99 1200C.
