Default Swing arm bag

I have a FXBB (Street Bob) that I would like to find a swing arm bag for. The one I have found is from Viking Bags. The idea is to be able to care some small art books and maybe an IPad. Does anyone have a recommendation?

Have you checked out Harley's offerings for the new softails? They're not bad if you don't mind branded stuff. Ends Cuoio makes higher end stuff and they offer some stitching color options. La Rosa offers bags with gas/water bottle options. Lots of good stuff out there.

As said HD makes some quality swing arm bags, you can also check out http://www.garageleathers.com/ I have mine for about 8 years held up real nice, quality bag .

Viking bags are not bad for the price but beware, there's tons of threads on here about shipping problems and poor customer service. You might want to search the threads out and read a few before you drop any coin with Viking.

Default Thanks for the advice

Thank you for responding to my RFI. My biggest concern is find a bag that fits, but that concern has now been sidelined. The HD bags look nice and may do the trick. If anyone want relay their personal experience with the swing arm bags, I am all ears.

I got the Harley swing arm bag for my 2018 Slim a few weeks ago.. Easy to install and looks good--works as advertised so color me satisfied.

I wouldn't put my iPad in a swing arm bag. Stuff rattles around like **** in them if you aren't careful. Stuff like wet weather clothing, tyre plugs, some tools and stuff - no problem. But anything I wanted to keep nice would go in a backpack!
