Just did about a 40 mile ride & the bag with nothing in it was rock steady, no flopping around at all. I think this bag is well worth the price.

I have both on my Wide Glide and have no complaints. Good quality and good service.

I got one of his solo-bags last year, even spent a bit more to get a bigger one maximize space. It is alright, but as it's gotten more wear, I found it doesn't seal up that well (I have a good 1 1/2" gap where it folds over itself where the inside is exposed, not good for stashing stuff in the rain), and has rubbed the finish off parts of the belt guard.

Well, you can't fault the bag for wearing off the paint. Anything that's in contact with a painted surface for any length of time is obviously going to damage the paint.

Floppy bags is always a concern with leather regardless of the thickness. The sun, rain and wind will eventually take its toll.

I have the DR02BL (right side), shown in sig pic, and want one for the left side. My side mount plate is on the axle nut, so it's a bit lower than stock. Check out my garage for more pics. I also posted an album for another forum member of how the bag mounts up with the detachable sissy bar.

I emailed Greg (Bad&G) a pic of my left side and asked his opinion. He said to just take the right side bag and flip it over to see if the DL02BL will fit (should've thought of that myself). It did, so I plan on ordering the left side bag soon.

I dont run a belt guard and I have the same bag. The belt or pulley does not rub the bag.

After you put some miles on the bike with the bag, the flap starts to lose its shape a little but it's to be expected. I have had mine about 6 months.

All in all, it is an awesome bag for a Dyna!

I have been looking for hard bags and cannot find any I like. I like the way this bag looks. Think I can fit a leather jacket in them ok? Anybody else has more pics of this bag on their dyna?
