Default What are the best throw-over saddlebags for your buck.

Hi All, I am in the market for some throw over saddlebags, but do not want to spend a fortune on them. I have tossed around the idea of synthetic, but also like leather.
Was wondering what the best company for bags is without breaking the bank.
Also, if anybody has any pics with their's on, I would be happy to see them to get an idea.

Thanks a lot,

Harley_Nova

I've had 2 or 3 sets of Willie and Max bags on our bikes. Like donk says good bang for the buck. They were synthetic and held up really well. In fact more than a few times i stuffed the heck out of them with travellin heavy and had no problems.

How bout thoseones withthe black maltese cross ? Cool or what ? www.willieandmax.com

Theres a company advertising on this site that has some sweet looking flamed bags too. A bit more pricey than the w and m bags. www.ussaddlebag.com

cheers
Ian.

I have a set of saddlmen bags that I bought online for less than $100 brand new. Syn leather- have packed them to the brim several times- no issues. Been wet lots, keeps stuff mostly dry inside, except in a sheeting rain. Pic in my avatar has them on..they pretty much stay there- too handy..lunch goes in in teh morning, if I'm out of beer onthe way home, a 12 pack fits- easier then the rack and bungies!!!

Do throw-overs rub the paint on you rear fenders?
