New FXDB Solo Bag From Ends Cuoio
Im new on this forum and English is not my family language. However, I hope there will be no problems to understand what it is all about.
I bought from Ends Cuoio one small Tango and Pop side bag for my wifes Dyna Wide Glide as a present. Few weeks before we discussed what would be the best color and design if buy from them. We agreed that black is OK, two tone definitely not, and distressed two tone is the best.
So, after some time I decided to make a surprise and order those two bags not telling her anything. I ordered Distressed two tone small Tango and Pop side bag
It took 8 days from payment date for them to dispatch my order and another 3 days for shipping. I was not at home at that moment when FedEx courier came. My wife received the box and was very surprised when she found bags in color that we agreed not to buy in no way.
Here You can see what I got It looks far far away from distressed bags you can see on Ends Cuoio website. It look like normal two tone bags were scratched with some kind of emery clothes.
Now I have strange feeling about this
The meaning of distressed is exactly that have to be scratched, to look vintage and kind of used. Here is your bags production process:
- remove all leather grease
- base color
- edges color
- distressing process which requires working roughly on leather surface (could check on techniques on-line if you like)
- saddlebag assembly
Im not pretty sure now what would be the best response from my side. If anyone has similar experience, Im happy to get an advice from You.
Thanks.

I wanted a sturdy leather bag that has a rigid back, hard mounts to the bike and wont require a turn signal relocation. Ends Cuoio has two solo bags for the Dyna, the Tango (http://shop.endscuoio.it/epages/6762...Products/00024) and the Small Tango (http://shop.endscuoio.it/epages/6762...Products/00025).
The regular Tango has a hard mount but it wouldn't work with my stock license plate. The small tango works with the plate but it mounts with straps. I hit up Sezin @ Ends and he was able to make me a Small Tango with the hard mount.
The fit was absolutely perfect, the bag is sturdy and the quality of the bag itself is incredible. Easily the most beautifully crafted saddle bag I've seen.
Also, the bag ships from his shop in Italy and I received it in California in 2 days.
Hopefully this saves someone else the trouble of scouring the internet for months trying to find the perfect solo bag
