Default What Bag is This?

This looks nicer than strapping a strap or something around the swing arm. Is this a good bag?

Looks like a Leatherworks bag on a Dead Creek Cycles solid mount. Link to Dead Creek Cycles

That's a leather works bag. It's my favorite bag that I have
Ever owned. It is of very good quality and I love the Indian
Head nickels.

I can't stand that DCC hard mount bracket. It holds the bag way too far away from the swing arm and looks like @$$ imo. I would take a grinder and cut those spacers WAY down or better yet, make a bracket for less than half of that 80 bucks they want for it...

Their kit comes with different spacers. I installed mine flush to the swing arm.

what's wrong with just putting the bag on with the straps?

Nothing. Leather straps will rub the paint off or scratch & dull chrome on the swing arm. Also, some bags tend to sag or droop over time. The solid mount eliminates both problems. But then again, so does some black electrical tape.

It's a Leatherworks XL bag and a Dead Creek Cycles Bobber Bracket...... exact same setup I run on my bike.
