Just got my bag last night from Bad&G. Can't give you any review yet as I just threw it on this morning, but I like the look, quality, and size. Greg seems great to work with, makes the bags to order, and got mine to me ahead of his original estimate. Pretty sure I will be using zip ties rather than the leather straps - to snug things up.

I have the Licks solo swing arm bag. Not crazy about the quality and it sags a bit with the leather straps they provided "I assume that will just get worse". Plan to have Sundog Leather make me a custom one to match my Tank & fender Bib , & badass toolbag, Pat Nash from Sundog is the real deal each piece is custom made art, not cheap but true old world leather craftmanship.

For those that asked about mine: I bought the bag direct from Leatherworks. I called and told them what I wanted for the closure and they said no problem even though I didn't see any on their site at the time.. Not sure if they show them now either.. Call then email the pic I have posted if they're confused at your request.. Love the 5" and am so glad I didn't go with the 3".. As for staying shut while riding, the leather is stiff and the buckles stay locked..

The most expensive, but quite possibly the coolest bag I've seen:

Scroll down for more pics of the really cool one ($1,500!!):

But not the right look for my Nightster. I went with a LaRosa fork and swingarm bag. Decent quality for the price.
I went with the Garage Leathers bag. I like having one big stupid buckle instead of messing with 2 nylon clips. Also this bag is way thicker than anything else on the market. I was amazed at the quality. It definitely costs more though. Whatever bag you pick should work just as well as any other though.
