Just got Viking bags for my bike, let me start by saying as of now I like the bags. But that is were it stops.
1. thing is they calll them Viking leather because they are not real leather, still nice looking bag.
2. there is no way to contact them other then chat on their web sit and a 800 number that I could never get anyone to answer.
contact was a issue since some promise parts did not ship and they do eliminate any review that is not perfect so beware.

Now I would most likely order from them again because of the prices they have if the bags that I installed hold up like they and reviews claim

Just my 2cents

I used Leatherworks saddle bags on my 06 Deluxe. https://www.leatherworksinc.com/collections/saddlebags

Very good quality.

I also had the Easy Braket mounts so I could strip the bike back down to a cruiser.

I put a pair of Saddleman's on wife's bike. She could fill the stock HD ones up with just her makeup. Easy on & off (think security bolts). I think these where the biggest we looked at.
