Solo swingarmbag for Deuce
Wondering if anyone is using a swingarm bag on a deuce? If so, could you post some pics. I don't have any bags for storage and i need something small. I'm open to other ideas also.

This is what i did, went with the Leatherworks Solo Bag($170 ish i believe), and then the Saddleman Deluxe Sissy Bar Bag ($50) both from J&P...
I will Suggest, any bag you mount on. Make a sheet metal bracket and hard mount it... made the mistake with the sissy bar bag, ended up putting a hole in the bottom of the back where it rubbed on the seat bolt/fender... My sissy bar is the tall one, but made a bracket and bolted it with the pad bolts then bolted the bag to it..
Also ended up doing the same thing with the swingarm bag, way better fit, and no sag... the straps ur suppose to use do not work, could only use 3 to begin with and they just dont get tight...

An' nahhh.....it ain' 'hardmount'd'.....straps inside are snap/cinch clamps....never moves....they give ya some clear protective tape ta put on the swingarm,but I wrap'd some 3M medium/heavy clear tape 'round there too.....just ta be sure....
Have had 8 cans dogfood in there....+ spare gloves/headrag/goggles....all at the same time....... an' load'd .45.....if ain' on my hip.....

Thanks for the pics, i think i may go with the swing arm bag since i don't have a backrest on it.
