Question Swingarm Bags?

Hi guys,

Can anyone recommend a decent slim swingarm bag? I had a look at the official Harley one but it felt cheap and plasticky...

I have no problem spending a few quid on it, I'm a sucker for good quality leather that will age well and last for the life of the bike.

Any recommendations / pictures?

I have the HD Solo Bag. I like the solid frame that mounts it to the frame as well as the the hard plastic liner that holds its shape. I understand your concern about the quality if the leather but the attachment and liner were more important to me i guess.

Default Swingarm Bags?

While looking around I saw that Fox Creek leather in VA produced swing arm bags... Having been a previous happy customer this is a no brainer so I'll let you know my thoughts once it arrives

I have a tool bag i zip tied to my swingarm. I wish I'd have thought to search before going that route. It droops quite a bit.
