Im shopping for bags, prefer leather or nylon( I have a nylon set but they are beat after being on a sport bike for 4 years)
post some pics, with brand names for me. SO i can get an idea what bags i like best. This will also help anyone else in a similar situation. The stock pics on dealer sites just dont help.
I really dig the look of these http://www.jpcycles.com/product/405-720
and these http://www.jpcycles.com/product/831-578
Here's mine. LeatherPros retro FXDXT bags in leather. They are excellently constructed, quick detach, expandable and carry a sh!tload of stuff. Highly recommended!
These pics are with the bags packed out with beach towels - but not expanded. They go out another 2" if you unzip the expansion gussets. They site a lot flatter to the sides of the bike when they are empty.
Here is a shot of the Leather Lyke bags on my FXD. The original owner added the huge brake lights to the rear of both bags. There is also a Leather Lyke top case mounted on the diamond plate {check my profile pic for a better view}.
While the LL bags are a little smaller than most saddlebags they still hold quite a bit especially with the top case and tank bag for back ups. Just pull two clips inside the bags and unplug the brake lights and they become luggage in about 30 seconds.
Origional FXDXT bags, stuffed with newspaper. They can be kind of flaccid looking when empty...
I agree with the "flaccid" comment. On another thread Leather Pro is asking if using a heavier material would be something customers want. Apparently the material they use is very strong although not very structured.
Here's mine with Harley leather covered hard bags. They original owner threw them in. They are a pain to bolt on (only way to attach them to the bike) but when they are on they are very solid and secure. Capacity is decent and they do have a lock built in to each lid latch. The tail bag is a Saddlemen universal model. Works good for extra capacity.
