Default Small Leather Side (Swing Arm) Bag - What Are The Options?

Folks, I'm looking for a small leather side bag for my XL883C. I'm wanting one that fits here:



What are my options, please? Would like something in real leather and good quality. 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.

Thanks. I do really like that one and have seen it before but I don't want quite that wide as the foot rests are obstructed?

I like the Harley one. Looks great. Holds more than those little ones. Fits perfectly, and doesn't get in way of footrests, (unless you mean rear passenger footrests).

Cheers OIM. That looks great. Yes, it's the passenger footrests I need to keep free as my little son will come with me sometimes. I literally just want a small bag to throw in a locking chain, a couple of straps and a few basic tools. Yesterday I found BadGCustoms and ordered one of these:

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

I have the small swing arm bag that sits in front of the shock, left side. I will be getting their right side bag as soon as they have a sale again. Top quality if leather is what your looking for👍👌

That looks great. I just grabbed one of their fuel bottle cages as well to use as a drinks bottle holder.
