Default Swing arm solo bag

Does anybody have a recommendation for a good manufacture for a quality swingarm bag for a softail? Pictures of one on a deluxe would be awesome.

Leatherworks is quality craftsmanship. You can't go wrong with them.

I have both a Leatherworks

and a Rarebag

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'll acquiesce to your expertise on the man purse, . On a softail, the swingarm bag makes a lot of sense.

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,, .
