Softail slim bags
 
Can you show me your softail slim with bags, and tell me what brand they are and give me your learned opinion please?

Following this thread with interest; I'm looking into saddlebags and it's overwhelming, not to mention possibilities for issues with all the universal fits that still may not fit.

There has been quite a bit of information on saddlebags in this thread, it will take time to wade through:

The second thread is: What did you do to your softail today, that thread not as helpful for saddlebags.

Here are a couple shots of my bike. I needed a bag large enough to hold my leather jacket when it warms up in So Cal, this bag did not accomplish, but looked cool.

Leatherworks Swing arm bag before I made a under seat pan:

This bike is in the thread linked above. These are Harley bags. Look GREAT from the side... Need lower exhaust pipes on the right side. I would like to see a shot from the rear of this bike:

Here's an old thread showing bags from Leather Pros, for anyone interested in adding bags without having to relocate signals and license plate...

I like the LP bags too, it appears they're bigger than the Rocker bags.
The Rocker bags do not require signal or plate relocation either. I like
the Rocker bag style better, but they seem a bit hard to find.
Here's a shot from the "other" side.

For my application, I'd like to use just the left side Rocker bag...

Used Harley Leather Throw Over Saddlebags for a while. Had them seamed and held in place with a Timber Wolf Leather Fender Bib. Shelved them when I added the flames.

My friend bought his wife a black slim. (Short girl) He changed the license plate tue duals pipes, woody's fairing and black HD hard bags. It's the baddest looking slim that looks like a street glide. They ride a lot, 20+ a year and she thinks it's the best cycle she every had. I'm jealous.

We've just bought my wife a Slim & are thinking of doing exactly the same. I'd be curious to see what he did with the rear fender & signal lights - if he changed out the fender I'm wondering what he used? Can you ask him & possibly take a picture or 2 & post back? Thanks!
