IMHO, the more "treated" the leather the better and inside the bag, zip-lock bags are your friend. These things and their contents can take a beating in wet / muddy / dusty riding conditions, particularly if you forget to close em,, .
I agree the more weathered look the better. I have seen some poor reviews on the Larosa... I see another bag that said it's made by LaRaza. Similar name, but I'm guessingtitally different manufacturer. I'm looking at lots of options but I kind of like this one to go on vivid black Deluxe. LaRaza Convict solo bag

You may be right but cool has nothing to do with it.

well, that we totally agree on. I just don't know where people get off trying to diss anybody or their bike, to me it shows your lacking somewhere else, but that's just my opinion, I could be wrong. If that kind of sh*t floats your boat than enjoy it.

Plus 1 on the leatherworks bag

I have had one on my Fatboy for the past seven years...thing still functions and looks like new. Well, almost...the snaps that hold the straps down lost a prong...but they still snap closed until released. If I lost mine, I'd buy another...great product.

thank you and the others for the useful replies. Sounds like from the people replying about the topic, leather works is a top-notch product. Definitely on my radar. From reviews, Garage leathers also seems like a top notch product.

The Rarebag is quite a bit bigger (and quite a bit more expensive), but I like how it fits proportionally on my scoot.

The Leatherworks is great quality though, no complaints.
I'm looking into the Rarebag,have a friend that's gonna translate for me.
