I had another Harley version before with Velcro closure and it wasn't nearly as good. I'm pretty sure I acquired another brand that was also Velcro and very stiff.

I just got the new version, version B, it took nearly 3 months to get. On forever backorder.

So far so good, and I can confirm the damn lids stay closed at triple digit speeds, and the lids have not warped in the sun.

This is the feedback you see on the triple bags, sorry to hijack OP

I broke one of my most solemn rules; I bought the Kuryaken version of this bag when I got the bike last year. Biggest POS I ever wasted money on. Lids warped the first time the sun hit them, and even before that, they would fly open at speeds over 75, no matter what position the fairing vent was in. I am a hater of all things Kuryaken.

Mine is from Fox Creek also. It is thicker leather than the HD ones, and has small flaps on the side that help keep water or dust out.

This is the one I have: https://www.foxcreekleather.com/windshield-bag/

I have the HD version and it has lasted 13 years including several rain encounters. It came with the bike.

I've been looking for one that will fit the windsplitter CVO style shield for the RK. If anyone knows of a custom shop, lmk. The couple that I have seen are custom to only what they already make.

The HD ones that are all leather back with just Steel clip where it attaches ,will burnish the windshield from the edges of it over time.
The one you show has steel rivets on the back side, and that is going to deep grooves into the windshield isntead.

So if you just want the smaller type bag, then get a HD one that is solid leather back, or at least find one that is solid leather back in the system you want.

If you want a large bag to stuff more crap in it, then look at the T bags instead.

The Harley 3 pouch model looks great, the magnetic lids stay closed and the leather is thick. The only problem is, they dont have the capacity to hold chit. I mean the center pocket is barely big enough for one pair of small sunglasses, and the 2 side pockets arent big enough for a candy bar. Its my biggest Harley accessory disappointment to date, but my wife got it for me for xmas and I cant take it off now.
