It's cool you're good natured about it, Road Star.

I wasn't as blunt as the other guys, but ya, I think there are some really nice and inexpensive alternatives out there.

Once you've measured where to mount the lock, drill holes in the leather.

You can get the locks ordered to match your ignition key, but I just ordered the universal locks.

Thanks for the tip on this, Kowan. Are you running one of these locks and will it work on basically any bag?

Yes I have one on the Leatherworks bag. It's made to fit on pretty much any leather bag you might be running.

There are other locks out there. I chose the HD one for it's simple install and seemed to fit the need I have.

The Foxcreek bag is made by Leatherworks or at least is used to be.

You don't see them around your area for the same reason that they are almost non existent in my area. Every one is buying baggers.

[QUOTE=Kowan;11820288]I've owned three. A La Rosa, Leatherworks, and Garage Leather.

The Garage Leather is thicker leather than the Leatherworks and cost more, but I'd give it the edge quality wise over the Leatherworks. Either is a great solo bag though.

I've got both bags too, funny I find just the opposite's true. Must depend on
the severity of the winter on how thick the hyde was at the time.

Bad G Customs. It's their square solo bag. You can mount it on the struts, or swingarm style like I did. They will do different buckles, stitching if you want.

Look about halfway down this page:
