The Streetglide bags are more square and we have rounded fenders...so you are either wanting a bag that follows the contours or one with the classic HD look.
The Corbin bags fit your description with the locks, clearance for the shocks and following the fender.

But they sure aren't like the Streetglide's...I think they have twice the room. You can mount the signals on the bag or use the filler pieces and come up with some other location for the signals.

BUT
At $1500 + s/h they make you think twice before impulse buying...

First of all I got to say I have never liked the looks of saddlebags on any bike. I have always had throe over bags for my Sportsters but I never liked how they looked on them, I always felt they just stick out to much and looked to big on my Sportys. I only used them 2 or 3 times a year for weekend rides. I got to say I loved having the storage space. I spent the rest of the time strapping things to my sissy bar. In time that gets to be a little old too.
So now I have a new FXDC with VH pipes and SE round AC. For the first time in my life I'm seriously thinking of hard mount bags. Looking at HD #79300-06C or #90369-06C. They also have a synthetic Leather bag that is cheaper but I'm not sure how the synthetic would hold up. My Dealer is giving me a good deal on them if I buy before the end of the year.
So now it comes down to, do I want looks over function or function over looks. Now I know that some people think bags look good on a bike...I wish I was one of them. I'm over 50 now and not having to strap stuff to my bike all the time is starting to sound good to me. I spent a lot of time on the 'Pictures by model Dyna' last night but most pics of bags was from a straight side shot, it's the look of them on angles and from the back I think that bother me the most.
So looking for advice, how many think bags can look cool on a Dyna or think they look, well lets just say not so cool. Maybe I should just buy the bags stick them on my bike and get over it.... but for me that's not easy...Thanks.

They always look great on a Wide Glide:
or a Super Glide:
But a club bike deff not (to me), which is why I have a small battery bag for things I absolutely need to have on the bike. I don't know if my scoot qualifies for the 'Club Bike' look, but that's the FXDB style so I assume so.
