Default New custom saddlebags!

After five years it was time for a major makeover of my '06 FLSTCI. Following a lot of research and deliberation I settled on these bags from Osprey, and am very pleased with how they came out. One of the best features of dealing with this company is the flexibility they give you in designing every aspect of the bag. Note the red trim that matches the bike, and the conchos, for example. The quality of the workmanship is absolutely first-class and the very reasonable price, $650, included a set of Easy Brackets. I realize that fringe is not to everyone's taste, but it can be left off, and hey, that's what makes this a great country!

Looks very similar to the Springer Classic bags. Very nice.

Very unique. I really like all the little details.

Not a fringe fan but they definitely work on your bike. Nice job.

Thanks for the kind comments, guys. I also managed to find a tank panel from a '97 Springer to help the look along. Since vintage red-trimmed windshield bags are going for $200 and up, I passed on that for now and got an all-black one. Couldn't be more different from the currently favored SoCal look, but hey, it's all about variety, right?

I looked at those bags and really liked them right along with the Hog Deluxe Old School bags. I just thought they would be way to large for my Fatboy.

Dealer found be a set of new Springer bags so I wont need to move the T/S to the fender.

They do look great on your bike.
