just looking for a decent quality swingarm bag for my '10 fat boy lo. not looking for a $200 bag, just something decent to carry random stuff. i was looking at the viking bag here: http://www.vikingbags.com/black-leat...-7802-prd1.htm

any experience with it? the lower profile, the better. less chance of tearing it up on turns and such. what are you guys running out there?

 

No experience with the Vikings but I have the LaRosa Designs Vintage http://larosadesign.us/all-softail-m...g-black-plain/ and couldn't be happier with the quality. I haven't had any problems scraping it (I routinely scrape my boards). I picked it up for $130 on ebay I believe.

 

I looked at the Viking bags (and the LaRosa), but passed when I found out they were made in China. Went with a Leatherworks bag, was very happy with it! Lots of posts on quality of these bags. HTH!

 

I am running a GarageLeathers bag. Love the buckles they use.

 

I went with these guys http://www.badgcustoms.com/index.html bag was over 200 but with the extra space option and other things and has worked out well.

 

Ditto on the leatherworks bags!! I have been using the 5" wide one on my rocker for 4 years and it works great, even my main bag for traveling. High quality and bag expands up to hold more when needed.

 

I'd pass on the Vikings bag just for this photo...


However, I am also using the Leatherworks 5" bag on my 2010 Lo and have no complaints with it. especially if you're handy and build, or buy, the mounting plate for it

 

This is from Garage Leather-very thick heavy duty leather, & I like only having to mess with 1 buckle.

 

Spend the money and get a leatherworks bag.

 

I've got the LaRosa. $20 on clist, so I couldn't pass on it.
