Default Looking for new saddlebags
I'm looking for new aftermarket saddlebags. I have put Hertiage bags on a '11 Deluxe. I want a little bigger bag that still bolt up. My V & H Big Shots allow me the clearance for the Heritage bags so something similar but without the studs. Opinions, suggestions?

Leatherpros. Have them on my current deluxe and had them on my old FXDL. Their cam locking system is second to none. Check em out.

I picked up a set of HD fatboy bags on CL for cheep till I decide what I want.
I want hard bags due to the wet weather in WA.
But they are filling the need while I decide.
I did a "restore" on them after I got them home (looked like new).

Are you planning on quick disconnect or hard mount?
What style?

Default Leather Pros on Deluxe


I put Leather Pros on my Deluxe, but they look too be patterned off the Heritage bags. So I don't think they are any larger. The buckle straps are narrow and mine stretched in less than 400 miles. I guess from wind trying to pull the lids up, because my bags were never stuffed.

Anyone know of good bags at a good price everything I see has a stoopid price on it.
OP there's an Italian guy on the forums who makes really nice leather bags ,can't think of his name but when I do I'll post it up here it's Avioni or something two words.

Maybe check these out, seem like reasonable quality at a good price. I really like my Leatherpro bags but they are pricey. www.vikingbags.com
