My dad's birthday is on the 29th of this month, and I really want to buy him saddlebags for his Harley. I know he really needs and wants some, so yeah. Only problem was, when I went to the website I had heard about, I discovered that saddlebags come in different sizes (duh, I know I should have known they would, but it never clicked). Now I can't just ask my dad what size bags he needs since it's a gift, but I don't have any other way of knowing, hence I turn to you, Yahoo! Nation. Any motorcycle aficionados (particularly Harley riders), please help!!! Or, if you just know the answer you can help too, aficionado or not...
Ok, my dad rides a 2006 Harley XL 1200C Sportster. What size saddlebags would fit this? Also, I know they say hard bags are more durable though soft bags are more amiable (so you can force more stuff into them), but which one do you personally think is better? Ok thanks so much for the help. Remember, a 2006 Harley XL 1200C Sportster
Check with your HD dealer, he can fix you up Kyle's a little gay, but harmless. His mom keeps track of him..

whats the going price for a 2003 harley sportster 1200-C $6500?
whats does a harley xl 1200 custom go i found one for sale with all chorme out motor, back rest, slip on windshield, crash bar, slip on pipes, kayain hand grips front and rear foot pegs and shift knob, tank bra, head bolt covers, axel covers, belt cover kit, smoke lense covers, also comes with the sporster bolt on sadle bags by harley.
just want to what to if this bike is a good deal at $6500 ?
An '03 is the last of the rigid mount Sportsters. They are not nearly as nice as the '04 and later. All you have to do is look on completed auctions on ebay to know that $6,500 is just about $2,000 more than that bike is worth. You can do even better than that if you keep your eyes open. My '05 Roadster sat unsold most of the summer of '07 at $7,000. It sat for another month at $6500. I finally sold it for $5,500 and even then, nobody was beating down my door to get it.
I should have never sold that bike. It was one of the nicest machines I have ever owned, and I took a beating on it financially.
I will tell you this: I think the 1200 Sportster is a great machine. I think the Roadster is better than the Custom, but that is just a preference. There is nothing wrong with a Custom.
I just think you are paying A LOT more than that bike is worth.
I wouldn't pay a dime over $5,000 for it, and I would feel way better at $4,500.
If you don't believe me, do some research yourself.
