I vouch for the leatherpros version, much better quality. I've seen too many pics of saggy conleys bags

And don't get me started on conleys frame bracket. When you take the bags off you'll see that ugly thing

I looked at them when they were around the same price as Leatherpros, and picked the Leatherpros because the material seems thicker/sturdier. The side pockets are padded and hold their shape better. The zippers are more heavy duty, and I liked the docking points better.

Now that Conley's dropped the price to $150 less than Leatherpros...might make a difference to a potential buyer. The difference in quality is worth the extra money to me. And Leatherpros' customer service is top notch...can't say the same for Conley.

San Diego Harley carries the Conley's bags at the parts counter, but the bikes in the employee parking area have Leatherpros on them, FWIW.

I can't say how the Conelys bags are but I have leatherpros retro-t's. Main reason I got them was because they were easy to mount and even with them off there isn't any REALLY noticeable hardware still hanging on the bike. But, after I put them on the only time they have been off was the other day when I gave the ol' girl a bath. Great bags, great quality, and even better service.

I've run both. I prefer the LP mounting and such but the Conely's hold more stuff. Mixed bag.
