Ratbasturd,
Does your fork bag ever hit the top of your fender? Nice leather work by the way................

 

I got a fake leather bag from a local leather shop. It's held up really good. Takes a beating down where it's mounted. I really like the look of it. Bought the same one for my Shovelhead, I liked it so much. Used strictly for tools and a caliper lock.

No, never comes close.

 

Hate to hijack but i just got to know what kind of sissybar that is Ratbasturd, and will it carry a passenger or is it for looks?

 

I picked up a HD one from ebay for cheap. Very nice thick real leather bag, not like one of those fake leather HD ones you usually see on ebay. Be patient and you can find some good deals out there.

Are you guys having any issues (like I had) with the leather rubbing marks into the chrome on the forks/triple trees (or top of headlight, if mounted above it)? Using felt or anything?

 

I have a $20 fork bag (shaped kinda like ratbasturd's) that I bought at a flea market. Yes, it's real leather! I like to mount it to the frame just below the regulator. it's unobtrusive there. Gets a little dirty when the road is wet, but a little saddle soap cleans it right up. The one bad thing about that location is that you gotta squat down to retrieve anything from the bag.

I'll take some pics (don't have any with the bag attached)

PM'd ya.
