Default Leather Pros or Calvary hard bags?

What you guys think? I'm looking for good bags. I hear leather pros are great bags, easy off/ on, and are indestructible. Calvary bags look good, but I've heard members don't like the mounts. If you have the leather pros, where did you get them?

Good,bad feedback

Thanks

Boss Bags can't be beat for leather. I don't like the look of hard bags on Dyna's.

I have the Leather Pro's and love them. Solid mounting system and they fit the bike perfectly. I have no experience with the Calvary bags so I have no opinion.

I have the leathepros as well. Great product and outstanding customer support. As far as I know they are very similar to Boss Bags. Aren't the guys that operate the companies brothers? No experience with Calvary bags.

I have both Boss and Leather Pro's. I like the mounts of Leather Pro's more (dumped the bike and harmed the left Boss bag. Replaced them with LP since they were lockable. Boss has new bags now for the Dyna, but the price went up (over $1000).

If you decide on leather and you like the Boss bags (and if they sell just one bag for a replacement) I can make a screaming deal on the right bag and mounting HW for both sides. The HW is new because the Boss HW was on the bike when I bought it. Owner sold his bags, but not the HW...

Also if you ever want a truck the Leather Pro trucks are the cat's meow. I have both sizes and love them. One for the Dyna and one for my old RK.

I just put Leather Pro bags on this weekend (less than 30 min). I like how wasy they are to get on and off, and they snug up on the frame nicely

Finding OEM hard bags is not hard. Plenty are around. The best choice is to select the one touch bags off 2014 and newer bikes. Often take off lids and bottoms are offered separately. But almost always they come without OEM hardware. After market hardware is available but most of it requires work to get it to function smoothly. Prices vary. In any case a complete switch can be made for less than $600. Figure 250 for lowers, 150 for lids, and 150 for hardware and new HD locks. Then a few hours putting it all together.

Leather-Pros. You can stick a full face helmet in one. Try that with a hard bag.

Note : CC Saddlebags is no longer in business.
I'm trying Easy Brackets to see if they have any options.
