Harley-Davidson Swingarm Bag

Looking for some smaller but stylin’ bags for your bike? Harley-Davidson has you covered.

When you hop on your Harley for daily commuting or a day trip you need someplace to put your stuff. But finding the right size is not always easy. Saddlebags may be too big, and pockets may be too small. Who wants to spend time shopping and making like Goldilocks when you could be riding? Harley-Davidson has just introduced a new bag that might be the perfect middle ground. And we found some other sizes that should meet your need for compact, but still cool, storage.

Single-Sided Swingarm Bag

The Swingarm bag is Harley-Davidson’s newest bag. It fits a number of models, and is easy to attach and secure. The old-school leather style comes in black or brown, and gets even better looking with age. It has plenty of space for whatever you need and uses simple but sharp looking straps and buckles to secure. Shaped to the contour of the motorcycle frame, this affordable bag stays in place and looks pretty kickass while meeting your storage needs. Check out the video:

This is especially great for electronics, laptops, and even features and outside pocket for a newspaper. The iconic HDMC graphic gives it effortless edge.
