Can you show me your softail slim with bags, and tell me what brand they are and give me your learned opinion please?

 

Following this thread with interest; I'm looking into saddlebags and it's overwhelming, not to mention possibilities for issues with all the universal fits that still may not fit.

 

There has been quite a bit of information on saddlebags in this thread, it will take time to wade through:

The second thread is: What did you do to your softail today, that thread not as helpful for saddlebags.

Here are a couple shots of my bike. I needed a bag large enough to hold my leather jacket when it warms up in So Cal, this bag did not accomplish, but looked cool.

Leatherworks Swing arm bag before I made a under seat pan:



Craigslist Harley Bag also b4 seat pan:

 

This bike is in the thread linked above. These are Harley bags. Look GREAT from the side... Need lower exhaust pipes on the right side. I would like to see a shot from the rear of this bike:




My bike with the seat pan finished.

Forum members bought both bags, Im looking for something else as well:



Let us know what you find!

 

Here's an old thread showing bags from Leather Pros, for anyone interested in adding bags without having to relocate signals and license plate...

I like the LP bags too, it appears they're bigger than the Rocker bags.
The Rocker bags do not require signal or plate relocation either. I like
the Rocker bag style better, but they seem a bit hard to find.
Here's a shot from the "other" side.



For my application, I'd like to use just the left side Rocker bag...

no picture but I just have a roll up bag that goes over the sissy bar. Keep rain suite, jacket and chaps in it

 

Used Harley Leather Throw Over Saddlebags for a while. Had them seamed and held in place with a Timber Wolf Leather Fender Bib. Shelved them when I added the flames.

 

My friend bought his wife a black slim. (Short girl) He changed the license plate tue duals pipes, woody's fairing and black HD hard bags. It's the baddest looking slim that looks like a street glide. They ride a lot, 20+ a year and she thinks it's the best cycle she every had. I'm jealous.

 

We've just bought my wife a Slim & are thinking of doing exactly the same. I'd be curious to see what he did with the rear fender & signal lights - if he changed out the fender I'm wondering what he used? Can you ask him & possibly take a picture or 2 & post back? Thanks!
