I just put on a Leatherworks 3" with the quick swivel closures. I got the bag from Dr Vtwin and it shipped very quickly. Very pleased. I like the Garage Leathers aviator buckle thing better than the twist locks or classic buckles, but they are more $$$ and when I checked it was like a 3-4 week lead time.
I used heavy duty zip ties along with the leather belts to secure it. That sumbitch ain't goin' nowhere.
i have one for a few years and the leather straps screwed up the pain on the swing arm. i made a bracket from lexan in the inside of the bag and bolted it to the acorn nuts with coupler bolts. now the bag looks better and hangs lower. PM me if you need to know more
My bike came with twin chrome toolboxes that ride in that same spot but are hooked to the frame. I just took them off (aesthetics) but they are nice little places for tools, registration, sunglasses, or a soft flask of whiskeeeeee........ (emergency rations, you know). For sale cheap.
Garageleathers.com for me. This past weekend an old timer commented on my SAB. Said he would drag it around with his old pan if I need it brokend in more? Kind of funny.
