im looking to buy a set of HD saddle bags for my deuce. im just curious how they look, not many deuces seem to have bags.
does anyone have pictures of a deuce with bags? thanks
I have the HD bags. They were expensive. They don't look particularly good in my opinion, but there aren't too many other options. They are well made and practical however.
Those are ok, I didn't know HD had leather bags. I was thinking of the hard bags HD makes for the Deuce.
Ah- now I get the BMW comment. Yeah, the hard bags are really strange looking in my opinion.
The leather Harley bags were about $650 back in 2002 when I bought them. The price is probably about the same now as the other manufacturer that was mentioned.
Maybe it's just me but I never liked the look of any type of saddle bags on a Deuce. Instead I used to use the SAC bag that slips over the top of the passenger seat backrest and sits on top of the luggage rack. This bag is also much less expensive than saddlebags and you can haul quite a bit of stuff in it too. T-Bags also makes this type of bag as well.
ST Deuce, you might want to at least have a look at them for comparison before you buy any saddlebags.
I have the leather pro bags. I like them a lot. Easy on/off in less than a minute, and they are large enough to actually hold something. The mounting bracket goes inside the fender so you only see the two posts when the bags are off, looks much better than the Ghost Brackets. I think they use a modified stock Harley bracket, so there isn't room for a larger tire.
