Default sissy bar backpack?

Does anyone know someone who makes a decent looking leather backpack (standard school size)that has sissy bar straps? No, not for school, but looking for the school size for overnights and to be able to throw over a shoulder. I got a close up of the one Harley makes and it looks too much like a large purse. Thanks.

I have suggest different type of sissy bar,You will have to break the key back mounting plate and install a screw on each side or you risk losing your cover as I am. You can use steel cable coated with rubber with an eye on each end and a flat head screw to secure the safety of passengers towel, but you will have trouble keeping it out of vibrate and hooked to the bike. It is better to get only one rack with a nice leather bag folding sissy bar pad to keep their passengers in this until needed.

I have the HD Sissybar Backpack. I got it on eBay cheap. I was searching for something that could carry my laptop, but mounted without the need for bungee cords. I found a few things out there ... all the same price as the HD one. This backpack is actually REALLY good. It's got tons of storage. I can carry my laptop, powercord, change of clothes and shoes to work with room to spare. It mounts easy and securely.
