Just installed...

 

Made in Australia or New Zealand... can't remember where the guy was from.

 

I'd line that bag with some stiff plastic. It looks like it would sag enough to drag during cornering if loaded.

 

You know, I was thinking that too. It would give it some shape, huh?

 

Swingarm bags are really useful and look great on Softails. Glad you are excited about it.

That said, I have to admit, when I first looked at the picture I noticed your bag had lost its structural integrity. You also want to make sure when the bag is loaded, it is no lower than your primary or floorboards (if you have them.)

I actually suggest a new bag. Leatherworks, and Bad and G Customs are just a few makers who build great ones and will customize for you. You can get a really nice one for like 135 bones.

Here's a few I've had on my bike. Right now, I'm running the one in the first pic. It's just really practical to have it square, I find. The other looks a little cooler and I still have it cuz I think I may go back to it one day.

 

I rubbed the stitches off my first bag and started to do it on the 2nd.


So I decided to make my own mount system.


Moved it up 1" and back 1" to give my GF more foot room.

 

Your new bag needs some Viagra...

JK, these are great for hauling things while maintaining cleaner lines on bike (vs. full saddlebag set).

LaRosa is another great vendor/manufacturer. Just installed their bag on my 03 Sportster and it's great quality.

 

I dig the flopppy look. The saddlebags on my Superglide are like that.

 

The material on mine is pretty thin; I see what you guys are saying. Maybe I will spring for a new bag.

 

I like the swing arm bags. Floppy, Viagra, Square... their all good. I just don't see many around my part of town for some reason. I went with the Hog Deluxe and the home made bracket.
