Funny you should start this thread. I just mounted a new bag last night. BadGCustoms.

Got it a little bigger, and in a rectangular shape so I could fit my laptop in it when I go to work. And, my running shoes when I go to gym. My other bag wouldn't do that for me.

I might get smaller buckles. But I'm seeing if the oversized buckles will grow on me. Really dig the bag itself. Apologies for the crappy pic. Was overcast when I took it.

What size bag is that? Length, width, & height etc? I emailed them last night, and left a message earlier today about a timeframe that they can have bags shipped out. Haven't heard back yet from them. Looks a lot better than I was thinking for a rectangular bag. Can you get a sideshot or two in there for us as well?

14" tall 10.5" wide 4" deep

They took a week build time cuz the bags are made to order. Then a few days for it to arrive from shipper.

High quailty work for sure. My fault on ordering big buckles haha. But they may grow on me. Can always change em.

I want it big enough to put my 11" MBA in. Their site says 3-5". Is that just a guess when they make the bag lol? 4" seems like a good width to me.

Here's a few closer up pics. The last two are my mounting system. I used fender washers inside and outside the bag and stainless steel bolts to keep it off my swingarm. (Preventing damage to the powdercoat).

I used black artists canvass inside the bag to help keep everything super firm on the mount.

And a slightly different angle of the whole bike and bag:



Great bag, by the way, Midgard. That's exactly what I had before by Leatherworks. I just went with the bigger, rectangular bag by BadG to help tote my computer and gym gear.

Thanks man! They certainly add chromium to the left side of the bike. And I just might keep em.
