Any of these waterproof? I get caught in the rain a lot. I had a HD fork mounted bag but it would get soaked (and everything in it) always. Took it off and threw it in the ever growing pile o' parts in the garage.

I got the La Rosa one and love it - enough to carry a rain suit and some misc items.

That small bag is deceiving in size. There are bigger ones available that will mount up also in that area. I made this bike to be different and going with the leatherworks or larosa bag didn't do that. I use a hard bag the size of a sleeping bag on the handlebars for weekend trips that carries everything I need.

I really like the look of the swingarm bags on the Crossbones. I think it compliments the bike very well. Once I get my exhaust put on, I'm getting one for the left and right side swingarm.

Hi Nostalgic07
how long have you had your bag?
I have a bag from Garageleathers and I love it. Very well made and very tough, but one thing is a few months into it it sags across the top and bulges out a bit with nothing in it. Has that happened to yours? I have one of the brass single latches. Maybe the weight of the latch pulls it down. Just curious if they just do that over time
