Hey guys I am looking to get some bags for my crossbones, anyone have any pictures of bags on their crossbones? looking for some ideas, old school leather type.

 

Here you go, love my garage Leather solo

 

Sorry, wrong side

 

Try the swingarm bag offered by foxcreek leather. Had one on my 08. Looked great, not a lot of storage in a swing bag though. There used to be a pic of my bike with the swing bag on the foxcreek site, should still be there.

 

I have a garage leathers and one from hd (for sale) I like them both

 

I already have the swingarm bag, can't carry much in there. I talking full sized leather bags. has any put hard bags on a crossbones?

 

I've always thought the ones from HD looked good on a Xbones..

 

I always loved the look and quality of the H-D Crossbones bags when I had them on my Bones.



The downside was that they were just a bit small for me. And actually, the bags were a decent size but the opening under the flap was smaller than the bags dimensions so a lot of the time I might have something that would otherwise fit in the bag but getting it through the opening might have prevented me from stowing that item in the bag.

The other downside is that the flap just drops over the opening with no other means to seal it closed. Since I ride regardless of the weather, rain tended to be a problem as there was nothing to prevent it from working it's way into the bag. I solved this by always having a waterproof camping sack in each bag that I would pack anything that needed protection from moisture in case I got caught in a downpour. Light to moderate rain was seldom an issue but in harder rain or extended wet riding I had to take this extra step.

I have since changed the look of my Crossbones completely and I wanted something with a little more old school style to it. I always like the Iron Bags and it so happens that another forum member was selling a set at a really good price. I took advantage and bought them from him and I have not been disappointed. The mounting system leaves a bit to be desired but they are otherwise solid bags made of the heaviest leather. They are huge compared to the Crossbones bags and the lid is more of the box style which comes down around the edges making for a better seal. Still not 100% safe from the elements but FAR better than the Bones bags. The opening is the same size as the dimension of the bag so getting large objects go in with little problem. You can get them with optional cargo straps on the lid which are awesome because you can strap more stuff to the top of the bags. I'm not big into conchos but the person I bought them from had order them with this concho/tassel option. I removed the tassels since I took the images below and just left the conchos. If you order a new set you can chose from a number of options.





One other thing. Because of the size these bags, they will not fit with stock exhaust because they hang too low. They may make a set that would work with the Crossbones exhaust but I wanted to larger bags and had planned to change my stock pipes to the 2:1 that you see in the pick so it worked out anyway.

 

 

Here are the stock ones on my bike before I triked it. I've got em up for sale if interested.
