i would have to recommend the iron bags also, check out there site lots of pics. i have to agree with sonar chris these are the thickest leater bags i have seen.

 

Had my a local lady do my bags http://www.woodstockcustomleather.com/. Nice quality that also matches the seat she redid last year.Due to the size she put LED's to act as turn signals/brake lights

Great inputs guys...

since I'm kind of a guy who beleives in "You get what you pay for", looks like I'll have to budget for a good set of saddlebags. Just don;t want a situation with synthetic leather falling apart and not holding shape.

 

I third the vote for Ironbags.. custom fitted by your measurements you give them (make/model, strut, exhaust, etc) and they're built with mounting to order by a great guy named Max who owns the company. Finest leather product (of ANY kind) I've ever owned... 12-14 oz leather. Dang I really gotta get those pics up.. I've got some semi-decent install pics floating around here.

Also.. Those "JustLeathers" bags really look like Leatherworks bags, who I'd bet is the manufacturer.. nice bags also.. Were my 2nd choice but the ironworks bags to me were slightly better quality, more assured fit, more thought out shape to compliment the bike, and hold a lot of gear.

 

I also recommend Ironbags.

Nope, they make their own in-house. You can see them in process and do anything you want to them, any size, style, angle, etc. Anyway, they're for local market really anyway.

 

I have leatherpros bags. Quick release when I want the bike nekked.

For around $500. leatherworks are a very nice bag.

I went with www.leatherneckjim.com
Bags are being made now, top quality leather and great people to deal with. Cost is reasonable, about half the cost of HD's bags. Also having a matching tool bag made.
