Default Leather Pro's LP4000 bag on my Lo

Hey everyone.

Just wanted show my new Leather Pros saddle bags on my Fatboy Lo. I cant express how good of a product Leather Pros Makes. They are hard leather bags. So no deformation of shape or anything and they have locks too.


I searched the forum all over for bags that didnt require signal relocation for the Fatboy. After Gary at Leather Pro sent me pics of the new bag bracket design that doesnt require signal relocation i was sold.

I will warn you that the LP4000 will not fit with stock exhaust. The hang down to low. So they will only work if you have aftermarket exhaust that is lower than stock.

Those look great.
Could you post a few pics with the passenger seat and backrest removed?

Those look great! I have been considering LeatherPro, but new large leather bags, regardless of vendor, are a little out of my range right now. But, when I get the coin, I'll be seriously considering those. Gonna settle for some used RK bags in the meantime. I am sure they'll hold their most of their used resale value whenever I want to go new.
They look big enough to hide a (sawn in half) body! ;-)

Nice looking bike and the bags really compliment it! Congrats!

They are really roomy. I packed up one of them as if i were going on a trip last night to see how much i could fit in it. I put 3 pairs of jeans and 5 shirts in and it wasnt even half full and that was just one bag. I think I could live out of these bags for weeks if i wanted too.

They sure look "beefy" and "stout", thats for sure!! I would say those would last a long time if taken care of. I would work them over with a good leather conditioner too to ward off any ill effects from the elements, sun, rain and so on.

Thank you for those pics. I just might have to get me some of those bags. Leather Pro is about 45 miles from me.

Here are a few of the construction of the bag. Notice the cutout in the rear bracket. This is what allows the Leather Pros bags to work on the Fatboy with out signal relocation.











This cutout on the rear bracket is what allows it to get by the rear turn signals without relocating them.













These are the locking levers. They are coverd by a nice piece of leather with velcro to hide them
