I think you can only mount the licks solo bag on the left side. The drive belt and exhaust don't allow a suitable mount for the right side. Those things are expensive, but have to be one of the greatest looking bags for the Sportsters.

La Rosa makes a similar (same?) bag as the one from licks https://www.larosadesign.us/index.php?cPath=8_13 but lists for $120 for the plain or $160 for the fancied up ones (cross stitching or riveted). You can get them for about $10 less at Choppercycle.
A buddy of mine has one on his 1200N and loves it. He has had it over a year and says it holds up well and is even fairly watertight in the rain.
He did say that they can be a pain to put install (true of both) due to the small spaces your hands need to fit into in order to buckle the straps. He told me that with a lift and the right tools to reach into the small spaces he installed it in less than 5 minutes. Without those it took him 15.
They are made to fit the right hand of the bike but I have seen pictures on another forum of someone who did mount one on each side.
