Default Saddle bag help for Dyna Super Glide Custom

I just purchased an 07 Dyna FXDC last November and am looking to add some saddle bags this season so I can make some short trips. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions(possibly pictures) for bags that look good on the Dyna and offer decent storage. Also if anyone has any bags to avoid Id like to hear about those as well. Thanks in advance.

Jon

they're pricy, but i bought a set of leatherpros and I love them. buy quality so you only buy once. the mounting hardware puts them close and tight. ample storage for overnights for me and the wife. they're lockable (both the lids and to the bike) and I bought the ones with the strap on top for jackets, etc...

I just threw these on today. Harley OEM bags from an '08 police touring bike. Found 'em on craigslist for cheap and used Edge Brackets to attach them to the bike. Not the most beautiful thing in the world but I didn't want to care for leather and these bags were such a steal I couldn't pass them up. Total invested: $460

I used Willie and Max, and I'm happy with them. They were cheap, have been very durable (I dropped the bike on the left one and it popped back into shape), and I think they look pretty good. I removed the goofy gold eagle that came in the lid and filled the holes with little HD logo license plate bolts. Mine are not easily detachable, but I never take them off anyway.

I put on saddlemen bags universal with shock cut out, you can leave them as throw overs and not move the rear turns, I did that for a while then hard mounted them later.

I've decided on the LeatherPro's for my 05 Wide Glide too. I thin k I've searched every thread here on saddle bags and more on other sites. Yes you can get the cheap ones but I saw many stories about cheap construction and falling of while riding. And to me, I like the looks of the LeatherPro's better

I see this forum is sponsored by the folks at US Saddle Bag CO. Had anyone here had any experience with their bags on a FXDC?
