I would suggest you get something with tassles & medallions on so you look really queer 
what about smallish army packs ive used them before they look great and are chaep as well ,much more street cred than your usuall harley shit

None...it's a Sporty....get with the programme.. Throw-overs for when you really do need to carry shit....and a bed-roll bungied to the bars...for that authentic "man-of-the-road" look......

Avoid the leather stuff, it'll leak and you'll need liners which will double the cost. In addition, unless you are a Gaucho, you'll look 
even if you avoid studs and conchos.
Avoid the sportster hard panniers, they are tiny and entirely useless in their shape. In addition they are completely against the Sportster ethos and you'll look like a wannabe Glide rider.
The throw over supports are worth the money and don't make the bike look crap. After that any throw overs will work. If you must buy HD ones then a company called SAC makes some decent nylon ones, but I'd be looking at Ortleib or Kriega
