I bought this set for my 06 FXST from Zanotti's & paid around $500. It had the support brackets already built in. All I had to do to mount then was remove 4 strut bolts and then bolt the bags to the fender

RE: Choosing saddlebqgs
I have a 2000 fatboy and absolutely love it, but my prior bike was an Ultra soft and cushy with all the frills for traveling. I always wanted a fatboy and had the oppertuntity to get it. After much traveling and always needing what I couldn't carry I started looking for bags much like you. Anyway at the 05 Daytona rally I ran across Boss Bags and did invest in them. I Love Them.

Yes the are pricey but I found it to be worth it. Last fall I solo'd to Sturgis for the rally tent camped to say the least and took everything i thought i might need, there was no way I could have done it with out the bags. Once at the camp site I could pop the bags off in less than 10 seconds. I prefer a sport bike but enjoy the options of back rest, bags, and shield.
I purchased the 42L3's and a couple of options for them.
My vote bossbags.............. Worth the $'s

Thanks for all the informative input gent's. I looked over every set of bags mentioned in this thread and it was a tough decision. I ended up ordering a set of the "leatherneck Jim's" Sequoia's and a pair of EZ brackets. Talked to him & his wife on the phone at length, and they seem very dedicated to their customers. I prefer to do business with the "mom & pop" stores anyway, if I can.
I should have them mounted up in time for the Leesburg Bikefest on the 28th, so I'll have a place for the raingear etc.
Thanks again fella's, this is a great forum!!!
