I love the look of the Fat Boy but not with bags. I've never seen one set up that way that looked good.

A. Your're asking other people what to do with YOUR bike, I no understand.
2. I don't get the anti-bag deal. I think the right bags (a.k.a no f'in plastic) look sweet on any bike, what does being a Fatboy have to do with it?

Gotta have bags if you take trips or do 2up. Just get larger leather saddle bags. Just sold my saddlemens and found some larger used LeatherWorks 120. Here are the bags I sold. Just would not be the same with hard bags... Gotta have leather on these Boyz!

dont like bags, if i did i would have have got a fatboy. I do have full size bags i got for 40 on ebay and spent another 150 for easy brackets. they fit when i had stock exhaust. I use a swing arm bag all the time and that is ok but the saddle bags are used for trips and grocery shopping

Your barebacks set up is nice, what cycle vision part number is it? I found a set of used CV7205, the brackets don't look like yours, I am sold!

Wow! That's a good looking one, it doesn't look bad even with bags off. What fender is it? Is it Fatboy original fender?

I never wanted bags and thought I would never put them on. You know what?
They are great!! I love it and got the docking kit but I only take them off to clean behind them.
Do it!!
