Hog Deluxe is an aftermarket leather company that make bags specifically for the deluxe. They appear to be quite nice. I see that they now have a locking system to lock the bags shut.

They look pretty good. I don't know how they accomodate the exhaust, they get real close to the muffler and it does get hot. If you change exhaust the doors are open for anything.

Hey 78fxs78, How are the BB repro bags? Really like the look of them. Good size? Durable?

I have Hog Deluxe bags. They are fantastic. High quality, heavy leather. They are big. I can fit my 3/4 helmet into them.
They come with easy brackets and the proper strut bolts. I have v&h true duals so room is not an issue.

I just got them late last year and haven't taken any pics since.

+1 on the Hog Deluxe bags 08. I answered another thread but I did a lot of looking as I wanted to put bags on and make them detachable. I looked at Leather Works Boss bags and the like. Both the above mentioned great bags but when you put the easy brackets on..they stick out way TOO much and the bags look awful from the rear. Hog Deluxe makes there bags with a recess feature that accounts for the brackets and that is great. Fit and finish are first rate..very happy with them.

Pic shows the recessed feature of the bag.

Boss Bags..great bag but from the rear...FUGLY to the max...imo

Wish I would have gone with those bags myself instead of the HD rigid locking bags. You can't fit anything in them.

The Hog Deluxe bags look nice, and I'd probably buy them if they made them a little taller. I emailed them to see if they can make a pair closer to the size of the Boss Bag 38's, and if they can and the price is right, I'll probably order them.
