Default The New LeatherPros

For anyone who was thinking about buying a set of the new LeatherPros bags here are the pics of the ones I bought. They are really well made and I'm sure someone with a lot more experience then me could have them mounted up in about an hour. It took me three. But the mounts are tight and I didn't have to relocate my signals.

Sweet! I've been waiting for someone to post some pics.
Thanks.
Did you happen to get a shot of the backs? Are the mounting holes in the backs pre-drilled, or do you determine the mounting location and drill them? I want to make sure the bags stay off the turn signal housings so the housings don't get scratched up.
They look good on your bike.

I just got home and saw your post Scuba, I went out and took two pics that might answer your questions. The back of the bags has two slots that align with two post on your bike and then kind of vise grip down. If you have put on post for removable sissy bars it's something like that. Sorry for the lame explanation but I ain't a mechanic or a technical writer lol..

It looks like one of the mounts attaches to the turn signal stalk.
Is that correct?

I have LeatherPro's literal sibling, the Boss Bags and have been happy with them. Very good quality.

Kinda, You loosen up the stalk and replace it's mounting screw with theirs and the mount attaches between the stalk and the strut. It's a L shaped mount and has two holes. One for the mounting bolt and the other for the turn signal wires and you can see the mounting stud hanging below. Getting that all tidy and tightned up was the only pain in the **** I had.

Thanks Smoker, the bad news is we are a little poorer for all this. The good new is that the beer can now be carried home safely.

I've been looking at these. Thanks for the pics. How about the fitment with the passenger pegs? Do they have full up and down motion and room on the pegs for a normal size foot?

The bags are not in the way, I ride solo for the most part but it looks like the passenger will have a good ride.
