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.
