I saw one on a Blackline at a dealer. The LW is a better quality bag and costs less than the HD.
The quick disconnects on the HD felt cheaper, nylon strap to mount it compared to leather on the LW.
I have the 3" LW and the HD appeared to be very close in size. So the 5" LW will be wider.
The LW is made in the USA. I didn't notice where the HD one was made. http://www.sideroadcycles.com/Import...opper_Bag.html $158.99 for the 312X $149.95 for the 312 3"
Or DR V-TWIN offers a discount for the bag. http://www.drvtwin.com/catalog_produ...product=107537
I'd PM Drew, because they list the 3" for almost the same price as the 312X at SideRoadCycles.
Excellent info. I think I'm inclined to go with the LW 312L (3") one. I'll call Drew.
Thanks!!
No problem. WARG has a writeup on mounting the bag to a plate that I used as a starting point for the one I made up and use. Worth looking over if you later want a solid mount. http://chasinwhitelines.blogspot.com...ag-review.html
HD bag is 3 1/2" wide by 12" long and 10 1/2" tall in the middle. I have it and its a good bag. Can't speak to leather works, but 5" wide would be nice.
If you decide to get the LW, get the 5" bag. The 3" is small. I've got hte 5" and it's perfect. Not too big but fits what I need to carry around for the day.
