Swingarm bags
I have a all American rider swing arm bag from j&p cycles. its a 90 dollar bag. Small and thin but looks good. you can fit a jacket and a soda in it.

I've had my Leatherworks bag for a couple of weeks now and I love it, but I have question for you guys. How do you wash the bike with a leather swingarm bag? I've been taking mine off and it's a PITA. I thought about throwing a plastic bag over it, but that seems like it's going to be a hassle as well. I'm not really worried about getting the outside wet, just water getting inside. Then I'd have to take it off anyway to dump the water out. I have a feeling I'm way overthinking this and should just leave it alone and wash the damn bike as normal.

None better than Garage Leathers. Hand made...not mass produced crap. Stay away from Larosa.
Going on 7 years that I've had mine. I'd say I'd buy another...but I doubt this one will ever wear out.

I hand wash my bike. Just don't throw the water inside the bag and it will be fine. I wouldn't take the bag off for every wash. As far as I'm concerned, anything leather will eventually get faded a bit or look broken in much like the black denim paint job on my bike..... and I actually look forward to that.

I picked up the Lick's Cycles bag a bit over a year ago. It's the brown leather one, so the leather is a bit softer. Well as you can see it's pretty deformed. I'm thinking about getting a buddy who's a bit of a sheet metal savant to make me an insert, but he's a hard man to get ahold of some days. Does anyone make inserts for these bags to help them keep their shapes?
