Looking to add bags to my 05 low rider. Was checking out Fox creek with easy brackets. Want some extra storage but not tons. Easy off but I want the bike to look good without them. Not to keen on throw overs because I don't want risk any paint damage. Any suggestions or advice from anyone?

had a set on my Super Glide when I had it , great bags and easy on and off , when they are off you cant even tell there is any attachment point unless you look real hard .
I have a Bad & G Customs bag on my Superglide, and it's worked out great. It uses 3 leather straps to mount it, no brackets, or turn signal relocation required.
One strap mounts the bottom to the belt guard bracket, two at the top. I have one mounts to the frame under the seat and other to my quick detach
sissy bar rail. No worries about paint damage.
You can't go wrong with the Fox Creek bags with easy brackets- I have had them on my Fatboy for years and now got a set on my FXSTC - easy on and off, quality leather, good looking. The easy bracket mounting hardware is hardly noticeable.
Thanks everyone I'm going to check out all of them. The only bags I had heard anything good about until now was Fox creek. Awesome! I appreciate the help
Fox creek makes some awesome bags, and the easy brackets are great.
Had them both on the Night Train, but I shopped around and picked everything up on ebay for around $250 I believe.
Not sure how the easy brackets mount on the Dyna, but it was pretty stealth on the softail.
Get some quality bags, and you'll probably never take them off, so i wouldn't sweat the hardware. Added sooo much convenience.
But the quick release is a must have, especially when you end up at a hotel, just pop off the bags and bring them to your room.
painted, sounds like you're shopping around for quality bags at the best price. This website has very good prices on almost everything they carry: accessories, a few parts, riding gear & apparel, with lotsa other stuff. I get bargain deals from them in my e-mail and almost always open it up to see what's what.
Jafrum (Link--> Harley Saddlebags is what was recommended to me a few years ago by a riding buddy when I bought hard leather bags with Ghost (Edge) detachable Brackets. I like the site since it has DIY videos and instruction sheets for accessories, and often there are links to these on YouTube and other aftermarket sites.
I'm still looking. Some of these are out of my price range. Looking @ 300-400 as my max. You guys are awesome with the suggestions. I really appreciate it.
We put Ironbags on my wife's 05 Dyna Superglide Custom. Heavy leather, almost 1/4" thick, quite large and roomy, good looking and solid mounting, which is permanent (3 nuts to remove, comes off pretty easy for tire change, etc). Very happy with them, have had them pretty much since we bought the bike new.
Thanks everyone. I can't afford some of the bags suggested. I do like the Fox creek. Boss and iron bags are out of my price range. They are sharp though.
