I've searched, but can't find a decent thread for recommendations. There's LaRosa, Leatherworks, Foxcreek, etc. What's you' all's recommendations?

Kind of liking this one. http://www.jpcycles.com/product/831-...1&zmap=831-260

Pros/Cons of different makes?

After rigging a cheap bag up, I like the idea a lot.

 

The Leatherwork's bag you linked is basically the one I have, except mine is plain and 5" deep. I'm glad I went with the deeper version. It's very thick leather and seems to be made exceptionally well.

 

I'm not familiar with Leatherworks' swing arm bag, but I ride with their saddlebags & they are the finest quality.

 

lol @ swingarm bag throwdown, I see ya did same as I, and that was take my fork bag and add it to the swingarm. Wasnt throwin away a $75 just to purchase another bag.

 

I think someone got the Fox Creek and when asking about a replacement quick disconnect, they were pointed to Leatherworks by Fox Creek.

Charge more for the very same bag minus the "Indian head nickle".

La Rosa is a poor choice. Lower quality.

 

I noticed that about the La Rosa bags I saw pics of. Not even quick disconnects...

Ha, great minds think alike! I'd just keep mine, but I don't trust the velcro lid back there where I can't keep an eye on it...

 

I know people on this forum are happy with the Lick's, but I'm just meh on it. I could get it to not sag with the leather straps that came with it so I had to use zip ties. They did a nice job marking up my swing arm and when I finally cut it off when I stripped it down to clean it. That and is was starting to look all funky; it lost it's shape.

I'm going to see if I can sut a piece of thin flexible plastic board to help hold the shape and find a way to make the leather straps work or find something else that will hold it in place that doesn't have to be cut everytime it needs to be removed. Wide zip ties are expensive.

 

When it comes time for my purchase, it will either be the Leatherworks, or Garageleathers.

GL are a little more spendy, unless someone knows about a hook up that I'm missing out on...

It's between the one Benway posted, and this one:

I went with the HD one - it was more narrow then all the others which is what I was looking for.

So far I like it.

 

I don't care much for the gargantuan buckle on this and I'll bet the front and back ends of that flap will curl up in no time. Great construction seams though.


Have to say I like this one the best too, though it's a bit more $$...


Price-wise, though, the J&P (leatherworks) one may be a winner at $150...
