Default custom made saddlebags

Has anyone here had custom bags made by someone that makes each one to customer specs that they would recommend ?

Can't say if they will, but bad&g has great reviews, to include me. I'm blown away with how great the quality of the bag is. That being said, I don't know if they do made to order or not. But check out their website, and see if its worth an email.

Again, great product, happy I bought it.

Are you looking for hard bags or soft bags?

Iron Bags is about as custom as your going to get. Build a bag right on their web site. Different styles, sizes, trim and accessories. Top notch quality and great people to deal with. Not cheap, but you get what you pay for.

I saw a guy in front of me last year that had denim saddle-bags. As I got closer, I realized it was just his fat-***. Frightening.

A guy I met today told me about Heather's Leathers.
I saw a reproduction 1925 HD seat from them that looked AWESOME!

These are vintage style, but they do just about anything.
Nice stuff here!
