I got these from Leatherup.com. cost like 40 bucks, they have done pretty well so far, lots of room, and I don't think they look too bad, just throw em over and tie them down, takes 5 minutes

I carry stuff on my Nightster every day. I opted for the Roll Bag from Biker's Friend. I find it very flexible - probably more so than traditional saddle bags. Plus you can put it on and take it off in less than a minute.

Personally I much prefer shtfit's system, if you must carry something (I use a backpack when necessary)... I think the black luggage rack, with some type of roll bag/tour bag would be the most stylish option. I also think the Lick's Custom Cycles solo bag fits with the bobber look pretty well.

Bags are from www.houseofleather.com. They look better mounted forward of the shocks so that's where I put them.

Did you have to get the H-D saddle bag mounts for those? I have an 09 Nightster and i want to get saddle bags, but i do not want to spend an unnecessary amount at H-D just to buy some mounts...if I don't need them.
