Default RE: SaddleBags

think about just getting the quick release rack for the back and putting a big duffle or something on it. I'm not a big fan of bags myself, but I do need them occasionally for a quick weekend trip or grocery store stop and I went with a solo rack and kuryakyn for convenience and ease of removal.

I have a set of willie &max that I got from JP Cycle and they've done good for me. I went with the large size cause I wanted plenty of room. I like the gray trim, sets them apart from the standard black.

ORIGINAL: Photo

I've been a little disapointed at the plainess of almost all the bags I've been able to find on the web so far. Sure there are ones with studs or tassles, but I havent been able to find any which have cool designs tooled or stiched into them or custom coloured pictures. Anyone got any examples, or better still links to people or companies that produce this kind of thing?
Or you could get some painted hard bags.

I second the leatherup.com people Good company, 69 for a good pair of throwovers and 15 bucks for a fork bag.

I ran this on my sporty for a year, for the price they are nice. They are excellent for once in a while use.
