Question Solo / swingarm bag on Deluxe?

Is there anybody out there with a solo / swingarm bag on a Deluxe? I´m considering getting the one by Leatherworks with braiding and basket weave to match the stock seat. I like solobags on Softails, but have never seen one on a Deluxe. Pics would be nice.

The Leatherworks bag is here: http://www.sideroadcycles.com/Import...opper_Bag.html

I just got my custom solo bag for my Deluxe from Garageleathers.com I have pics, just not on my work computer. I absolutely love it & the service was incredible.

What's the width on that bag?

Hazel - are you getting the 3" or 5" wide from leatherworks?

GoBison,

consider getting the 3" wide one, guess it looks better on the bike.

garageleathers bag measured just a bit over 3" wide. I used it last weekend on a run & was able to fit alot more in it than I thought would fit.

I have the larosa one from ebay. Good stiff leather, seems like it's holding up to my daily abuse.

Mine's on a Fatboy though....

Wow. This bike is unbelievably cool. Definitely one of my favs. Black lowers would be sick, imo.

Thanks. Yea, I've been thinking about that. I don't want to break down the forks to get them powdercoated, so I bought some black appliance epoxy to paint them. It will take a full day to remove the front wheel,brake assembly, paint the lowers and let them dry,then reassemble and put back in the garage. My problem is, every time it's nice enough outside to put the bike on a lift and paint, I decide to go riding instead!
