Does he have a web site?

More pictures in my Album. The design on the bag matches the stock Deluxe seat exactly.

Here's their website...http://www.hogdeluxe.com/products.htm

No problem, I had it further forward than I needed in these pictures.

I def recommend Shaun at www.sokustom.com ! He is great to deal with and his work is second to none! He did a tank panel and swing arm bag for me.

I went with the leatherworks bag. The wider version of the two.

Two different setups

Tried both left side swing arm and right side by seat (as you see) both look cool actually.
Stay away from Larosa, I got this bag used after I ditched the Larosa one, and I did the studs and indian dream catcher myself.

SoKustom bags look great too, but they were out of my budget.

Sorry for the light editing of the second one, was taken in my garage.
