Default Windshield bags or side mount bags

I need a little help. I have went through three windshiled bags in the last two years. The brads break or the leather becomes weathered looking. I have seen a bag that fastens on the side of the bike, on the frame I think. I am looking for a website to search this out. I have seen this type bag on bikes and it looks very good. Thanks for any help.

Might want to check out the softail forum. That's where you'll see them. Also, quit buying $15 windshield bags.

I could make you a heavy duty bag for your windshield or side bag. You could also check out http://www.anvilcustoms.com He makes nice stuff but big dollar. I can make equal products for half the price.

Default Windshield bags

Other Sheep, I was asking a legitimate question I thought. Did not mean to get a sarcastic reply about the price. The last one cost me $75.00 not $15.00.

Thanks for the reply anyway.

For a solo saddlebag as they are called, check out Licks Cycles http://www.lickscycles.com/catalog/d...6e1c2bc1a6f2e0, http://www.sokustom.com/, or a few others. I ahd a Licks and it was really nice, but Shaun at sokustom makes the nicest I ahve seen.
