Default Solo Bag ordered...

Well, I pulled the trigger and just ordered my solo bag from Garage Leathers. Called and spoke with Robert as I had a small question about the dimensions and he was great. Took the time to make sure my questions were answered. Sounds like it should ship out on Wednesday.

This is the one I ordered. Went with the nickle latch. Can't wait to get the bag and put it on the bike.

Thanks... I had held off for a little while on getting one, just to make sure that I would end up with what I wanted.

Will post some pics once it arrives and is on the bike.

I have one on my sportster.

The only negative is that you should tape off your swingarm, as my bag ground through the paint on mine.

I put 11000 miles on the bag in all sorts of weather without any problems. It's put together well, the leather is thick and hard, (hehe) and the stitching is holding up well.

And they are made in New Jersey. (I think. definitely the US though) . Where is the new harley swingarm bag made? I bet it is NOT the us. Plus it has that f'ing harley logo on it.

Garage leathers all the way.

To avoid frame damage from rubbing, use the thin plastic covers for cell phones. That way you the protector won't be noticed when the bag is off.

I just got mine also and put it on. Used electrical tape wrapped on swingarm with jumbo zip ties to attach bag. The bag is great, more room than i thought there would be in it.

Thanks for the tips guys, I appreciate it.

Rubbit... sweet looking bike... I definitely like the look of the bag on it... and it gives me an idea of what mine will look like since my Train is flat black like your bike.
