If they're available from any HDF sponsors, go there first...

but Garage Leathers makes a few different styles. They have one I've been eyeing for awhile.

Search the softail forum. Plenty of threads on it. Couple really good threads on solid-mounting the bag to the frame too.

I just got my La Rosa delivered today. I won it on ebay for $95.
The quality looks decent.
I was either going to go with http://garageleathers.com/bags or http://www.leatherworksinc.com/312-Chopper-Bag.php.
Was leaning towards Leather Works when I saw the La Rosa listing.
Figured I could give it to a buddy if I wasn't happy with it.

I'm a big fan of the garage leathers single lever buckle bag but I'm going to ask my friend that builds sadles for hourses if he can make it for less plus it will be the only one like it. Thanks.

Good luck. Get him to emboss something special for you on it.

I've been looking at these too. I didn't want to spend a lot for something I was only going to use a couple times a year. I put a laRosa seat on a bobber a couple buddies and I built 2 years ago and the seat was decent, I figured the Larosa bag would be OK for what I wanted. if possible, can you let me know how you like it after you used it a couple times...

I don't know, I always thought those bags made your bike look like a big guy carrying a purse. Regular bags, hard bags or leather, look good. The swing arm thing reminds me too much of a ladies pocketbook strapped to your frame. Just my personal opinoin of course. If you like the look, get one and enjoy the ride.
