Default Sokustom bag

After looking at all the cool bags on the forum I finally broke down and ordered a swingarm bag for the train from Sokustom. Shaun is a great guy to deal with, he got back with me quickly and answered all my questions. If his work is half as good as his customer service it will be a good addition to the Train.

Hopefully I'll have it in my hands soon and I'll post up some pics when I get it on the bike.

I have a leatherworks swingarm bag myself, but if I were to do it again I would without a doubt buy a Sokustom Bag instead. JMO

His basic bags start at $160.00 in brown or black with his standard closures. I had him do black with the old style straps and insert a bracket to hold the license plate as I have removed the stock bracket off the train. All together with shipping was around $240.00, a great deal when you realize that each of his bags are hand made.

My dad does custom leather work making saddles and holsters and leather repairs for people so I can tell you first hand that it's a lot of work to put one of these together. Yes I could have asked my dad to do it but then I would have to listen about how much work it was and what a pain, how lucky I am to have someone that can do this etc. etc... Yep simpler and more peaceful to order it.
