That bag looks like it is made for a softail swingarm or rigid bike. Not sure if it would work on the Sportster. I have a licks solo bag and love it - very high quality.

I agree with Dallas, the website doesn't seem to have that one for the sportster.
Saying that, I was able to see a Licks bag up close finally at my Dealer.

Other than wishing it was a little bit bigger, it seemed awesome quality an looks!
I have mine on order right now......too bad there seems to be at least a month wait for em.

Dallassporster is 100% correct--those Boss swingarm bags are for the softail. I have a sporster and a softail and I had the Boss Swingarm bag for my softail- I recently sold it. I now have their saddlebags and some other stuff. I also have the Licks bag for my sporster that I bought used. I have a new one on order but am waiting like everybody else. So to answer your question--yes the Boss bags are awesome but not for your sporty--go with the Licks bag for the best quality.
