Looking to get a swing arm bag for my 2004 Standard. Any recommendations?
Thanks.

I bought the 5" wide Leatherworks bag. I use it every time we ride. Last night I had 2 rolled up hoodies, my ball cap, cigs, keys, cell phones, & spare glasses in it so it holds quite a bit of stuff and it's made real well out of thick leather.

I went cheapo and got a VikingBag. I like it and it serves the purpose.

I have the HD one which looks much the same as Visago's Leatherworks bag above, and very happy with it.
Make sure that you add the protective film to the painted swingarm.

Leatherworks 5" Solo Bag here. Perfect sized bag for the bike... does not look too big and holds just the right amount of stuff. I suggest you compare a few bags before you buy. If you're like me and want a bag that's going to last you a very long time, you're going to want some good, thick, rugged leather that isn't going to go floppy after a few years of riding. That's why I chose the Leatherworks bag over the HD bag. Garage Leathers makes a sweet bag too with a nice buckle but I couldn't bring myself to pay what they are asking.

Wife's got a 5" Leatherworks bag on her Lo. You can get a lot of stuff in there. GREAT bag, but a lot of people (her included) have rubbed the stitching off of the back corner and had to restitch it. It needs a skid plate to protect it.

I've got the Garage Leathers one on my Slim. Even better construction/materials, a little pricey, but it's really pretty small. I can fit a light jacket or sweatshirt in there, and that's about it. Since this is my short-range bar-hopper with only a solo seat, it serves my purpose just fine, but some may find it to be too small. The latch rather than the buckle is awesome.

Heard good things about the Bad & G products, but haven't ever seen them.

HD bag is nice, but overpriced (or, rather, you can get better for the same money).
