IMO, yes. Also looks cool without saddlebags, in black, blue, white, red, orange, denim,.... with lots of chrome or without, with forwards, floorboards or mids, with or without fairing, windshield.....

I thought Harley riders were a big family....... y'all quit arguing!! Got my GA hardbags today. Gonna try to get them on Friday. A little intimidated about how i'm gonna get them in the right place. I'm gonna have to get a blinker relocation kit I'm pretty sure. That sucks!!

Cool is subjective. I like the looks of some bagger and dislike others. Personally I have bags for my street bob but unless I really need them I keep them off. The style of my bike doesn't lend to bags. Jmo

Cool amen
yep when I have no functions I look like some retro-dyna that sounds like a cop bike.

YES - they are functional - awesomely useful - they make you happy because all your stuff isn't strapped on..

That wasn't the question. That would have been ""can a Dyna be more 'functional' with saddlebags?"

The fact is - (in my always humble opinion) no - a dyna does not look cool with saddlebags.
It looks functional.

I think they look great! My bike still handles great, can haul me and my girl and everything else she wants to take...

Corbin Fleetliners which are hard-mounted, but I love having the room...they look huge and have more capacity than stock Harley bags, but not as big when we are on it.




I have my bike set up to fit me well...just think a touring bike may feel too big and bulky for me at 5'6".


My two Road Queens...gonna keep them both!!

Final answer - may be functional but the are NOT cool on a Dyna. Dynas are meant to look cool and to be ridden.

If you want cool bags, get a Heritage, or a hard bag bagger.

Who appointed you the 'Final Authority' on what Dynas were meant to look like?

I need bags most of the time so I use them
I do think my FXDX is fine and "cool" with them on. I guess if I want cooler, I simply take the 15 secs to remove them and the windshield...
