Check Motorcycle Superstore for a bunch of different brands of non-leather bags.

Its harder to find LEATHER bags than faux leather.
Look at the prices and you can tell right away.
Bags go from about $99.00 to $700.00 guess which ones are leather?

I got a decent set from Leather Up, http://www.leatherup.com/c/Motorcycl...ags/2/151.html. Wasn't sure if I would like having bags, so didn't want to invest a lot.

I have a pair of tourmasters that are courdura. They are nice, and hold quite a bit, but I don't like the way they look on my bike. If you are interested, I'll sell them to you.

Not to shamelessly plug anything, but I have a pair of these that I'm looking to unload. They're leather, but they look sharp, and don't require much maintenance.

Non-leather?! who speaks such blasphemy? The V-twin gods will be angered with this humble forum. You'd be well to bit your tongue next time you have these thoughts of a heretic good sir.

I have a really nice pair of non-leather Chase Harper bags. They are very strong and and supported, didn't get more than a few scuffs on them when I was hit, so I know they are good bags.
