Default Which bag is in the picture?

I was looking at the Lick and Larosa bags but the latter rarely include pics of the bag mounted so it's very difficult to get an idea of exactly how it fits on the bike. This is just going to hold a couple of straps and small tools which is why I don't want a larger swing arm bag than the one shown. Your tips would be appreciated.


which bag is shown in your first picture? That looks perfect, nice and small

This way I can keep that pillion area completely clear, which is the optimal solution for my needs.




I've just received this bag and I have to say, the quality is superb! These bags are a very good price for what you receive and the company was great to deal with, too.

Take a look at Leatherworks. They make some great stuff for sportsters. I just put their 310T bags on mine and i love 'em

LaRosa, that's what I have on both sides. Many different styles and colors. No complaints about them at all.

It's the standard pan. Alligator Bob did a custom rework on it. Installed a ProPad gel pad in the whole seat area. Added about an inch more foam for better back support. Hand pleated seat area. Materials are black Italian highly grained leather and brown elephant. It looks great but more importantly it is very comfortable.

I have the larosa solo side bag with fuel bottle. After 4 years, haven't ever run out of gas but get a good bonfire going at the end of the riding season. At $230 it is fairly pricey but I do use it quite a bit. Last night grabbed a bottle of wine, a couple cobs of corn, slab of halibut and some prawns from the grocer and fit it all in. and yes, was a tasty dinner

I love this bag, can you have passenger foot pegs with this on an iron 883?
