Looks good...being a "four-eyes", I always have to carry glasses, etc., but hate the way saddlebags look (on my ride), I had been trying to find a set of Kuryaken Tailgunners (with no luck). That bag you have looks like it will work just as well

I don't like the look of bags on my Fatboy either. That swingarm bag might be just right for me. Since it attaches to the swingarm with leather straps, does it rub or scratch anything on the bike from vibrating like the black painted swingarm?

I've had it on there for about a year now and haven't noticed any rubbing so far. The leather straps become quite soft with use and don't seem to hurt the swingarm.

I like the look,better than bags but still too big for me.I made my bracket and used a Harley bag.Between the one I have mounted between the downtubesit's all I need for the riding I do. Overnights I use a handlebar bag.

That is indeed a nice clean look... Very similar to the look of my quick-detach HD saddlebags and about 1/2 the size.
