I've been debating on taking the saddle bags off of my FXSTC. I think it just is a cleaner look without them, and I mostly don't use them and they're starting to look raggedy, but I do need something. Maybe a pillion/sissybar bag or something (need some place to stick bread and other crap I pick up sometimes, as well as a place to hold my night clears, or spare gloves and whatnot in the "winter", puck for the kickstand if I stop on soft ground, rainsuit, etc). Just thinking it might look odd without the bags while having the windshield and wide touring style seat. If I did, I'd also leave the signal relocation kit the way it is, I like those better anyway for safety since they're larger and further spread apart.
Was thinking about with a pillion bag though, want one smaller, not too thick, could fit some stuff better that's awkward or hard to get into the saddle bags, hamburger buns less likely to get squished. I might go over to this local place that sells biker wear and stuff and see what they have. Lot of times it's hard to tell looking online how it would work out.
Granted, might be hard to tell too with these pics since I got my helmet on the sissybar and leathers hanging all over the pillion. But that's also an issue with doing a pillion bag, I won't be able to just put my helmet on the sissybar anymore, I'm not real fond of hanging it on the throttle by the chin strap either.
