Default Viking Bags on my 48


Viking warrior bags with shock cut out. Kept my docking hardware for my sissy bar. I can still remove bags for washing by removing 2 Nilock nuts on inside of bags, about a 3 min job to remove.

Nice bags. These are CS4 on a 1200C. Also have quick release and are lockable.

Asked before. If someone knows the vehicle and plate they can clone your bike. To the cops it looks legal and you get the traffic violations.

Those bags look nice on there. Are those all leather(ette) or leather covered. I love having locking bags, makes the bike so much more versatile to me. I am not one that can have a bike just to ride, and with no other capability. It has to be useful to me in more than one way.

The locking bags do that. I keep one of those elastic spider webs in my bags and can haul stuff too large for the bags against the sissy bar back rest as well.

I was just looking at those bags for the Sportster I haven't bought yet
I have Leatherlyke bags on my V-Star and love them, and these look similar.
One question: how to they open? Toward the center? Would that flap get in the way for access, esp. if you have crap piled up on the buddy seat?

The Lamellar bags open from inside out, and they Come leather covered. Good and bad about inside out opening. The good is its easy riding solo to turn around and put something in. The bad is if you have stuffed them full for a trip, and the latch false latches (yes they can) it will open while on the road and you tend to lose things like jacket liners and gloves. Don't ask me how I know this.

They are the Viking “Warrior” with shock cutout. They’re leather over a fiberglass with Velcro on the sides with locking tabs in front with also a keyed lock on top of the lid. The Velcro grabs hardcore almost thought about removing the Velcro cuz it’s actually a pretty good tug to get em open.
