Default Saddle bags on a Nightster

I have been looking around for the right set of bags for my Nightster. I don't want anything too bulking, because I just don't think it will look right on the bike. I have been thinking about the Throw over ones from Harley, but I figured I would ask here first if anyone has any other suggestions. Thanks.

I'm considering some rigid mounted viking bags. They have some that have the cut outs for the shocks so they will look nice and clean. They come with the mounting brackets too.

You will find much cheaper throw-over bags else where. Try www.denniskirk.com

Yea they are nice looking bags however, I would be more tempted to get a right AND left sided Licks Bag. Seems like they would be about the same size. If you wait for a group buy you should get them for about $150 each.

I will be needing a solid small set of bags for my 1200C when it arrives this fall.

Great looking bags but that is really high priced for throw overs. I still like them a lot though.
