RE: leather-up
Myself and my brother have bothused them. I bought the racing jacket from them about 3 yrs ago. Very nice for the price , but bya size bigger. My bro bought a classic motorcycle jacket and some saddlebags. Very nice jacket and the saddlebags were ok for the price.

You need to get your racial stereotypes straight. Leatherup stuff is made by Pakis. (Not to be confused with "Packys" which in Massachusetts means liquor stores.)
I had one of their jackets that I wore for seven years -- great jacket and cost less than $10 a year to own. This Spring I went soft and bought an FXRG jacket. I'm looking forward to finding out if it will last 50 years.

Got to remember little jap people make this stuff.

Bikerdog,
I got that sissybar pack from a different place for the same price. I've used it a couple of times for road trips and if you rally pack it up it doubles as a backrest as well. The bag performed well for the trips, it straps very well to the bike. It comes with a rain cover (which I didn't get to try out, thankfully). That said the leather is decent quality yet you need to be careful of the zippers as they are all plastic so don't overstuff or stress them to any degree. I've had one of the clips break already as well. So you get what you pay for, if you're looking for a bag to use a couple of times a year it performs well when used carelfully. If you're a road warrior, it's not the bag for you.

Leather up is great
I wait and collect a couple of guys and we order together on their wholesale site. Before a big ride, we got 3-4 chaps and some luggage all together with a vest, etc. It worked out for a huge discount that way. All the materials were good.
