I got this 1996 Dyna Glide Convertible. These bags were designed by the MOCO specifically for this bike to be a quick disconnect deal. Pretty ugly, but they work. I can't see 'em while I'm riding.

I always carry a tool kit in the left side bag and my tire repair kit in the fork bag. After riding for 54 years, I like to be prepared.

I removed the horrible HD windshield set-up and replaced it with a National Cycle one. Much better looking and easier to remove.

Anyway, there it is.

I have a 1995 FXDS and love it. Yes the bags are ugly but I have learned to live with them. As for the windshield I hate it too, it's hideously large and shaped weird, but damned if its not one of the best ones I've ever rode behind.
I got caught in some light rain twice and both times it kept me mostly dry from the waist up. The wind protection is really good too.

It's not a beauty contest.

Yeah, but looks do matter.....

Something like saddlebags, like seats, bars, & paint.... Is going to be very subjective...

I would never use a set of the "adventure" bags that look like suitcases. I don't like hard bags on anything but a bagger. I've been partial to leather saddlebags that kind of look like they just came of a cowboy's horse, since my first saddlebags on my 1980 FXS Low Rider.....




But that is just my personal taste... One thing for sure, I NEED a set of saddle bags.... I didn't have them on my first bike, but once I added them to my second bike, I knew I would never have another bike without them.
