Swingarm bag on Rocker
Thinking about getting a swingarm bag for my Rocker. Had saddle bags on my old bike and miss the storage. Noticed that the softail swingarm bag from HD states that it does not work with the Rocker. Anyone know why? Also, are there any issues with rubbing the paint off the swingarm from a bag being strapped to it?

If you use the straps that come with any of the solo bags, the bag moves enough to cause wear on the paint.
Get either the Leatherworks or Garage Works solo bag.
Both of those bags are made right here in the USA.
$160 for the 3" LW and I think $220 for the GW bag.
Both LW and GW have options to change the look if you want other than a plain bag.

You can also PM Drew and see if DR. V-TWIN is a better price.
WARG's blog has a writeup on how he mounted the bag.

HD says a lot of stuff doesn't fit the FXCW/C that does.
