I used to have a raggedy pair of throw-over bags for long trips and weekend rallies. Didn't see many baggers because they didn't handle well if you extend the frontend much over 8 inches.
Besides, dressers were very expensive back then. A guy I worked with bought himself a new '58 Duoglide and it cost him a whoppin' $1080.00 out the door. Up to that time, I had never seen a bike that cost more than $400.
