(ahem) You forgot about the ashtray.

I have a set of soft bags for my Speedmaster, but I can see the appeal of hard bags. I'd just mount them with a set of Easy Brackets so you can convert to nekkid easily enough. That's the one thing I also like about my QR windshield. I generally don't run with it, but in cooler weather or for a long trip, it's a nice thing to have.

I had a chance to ride a friend's HD bagger and it was nice enough but HEAVY. I can see the appeal of adding a few pounds worth of bangs and windshield to a BA or Speedmaster and enjoying the smoother and lighter ride.
