it's one of the better "mods" I've done to my Fatboy. I got one from Garage Leather... it's the single nickel clasp one. it works great for what i use it for. I keep a ball cap, couple of bungee cords and a small bpttle of sunscreen in it. I've never had any trouble from mine - and get OHS and AHS when folks see it.

I have fishtails and have one. I bought it with a custom made mounting bracket that mounts to the rear foot peg hole and one of the strut bolts. Works great and doesn't come anywhere near my pipe. I have read that some people who attached the bag via the straps to the swingarm have experienced the paint on the swingarm wearing off from the rubbing. If I were to attach it that way I would wrap electrical tape around the swingarm first. I don't know who made mine, but it is handy. I carry a tool kit, extra gloves, clear glasses, bandannas, earplugs, and whatever else strikes my fancy in it.

I had one on my 08 Fatboy and made a 4000 mile trip with it. I initially used the straps that came with it, but the bag would tend to fall/slide down, I then used some tie wraps which helped. But I found that U-bolts with felt strips worked the best. If you are interested, I still have the bag and would make a great deal on it. It's black with a some cross stitching that went well w/ the fatboy's mexican stitch. Not exact match, but goes well. Just let me know. FYI - I got the bag off ebay and it's made by LaRosa.

I have a Leatherworks and love it. The buckles are the quick disconnect and they are adjustable. I keep a few tools in the bottom, but on a daily basis I stuff my chaps, gloves and long sleeve shirt in there. It took a few times to "get it right: as far as how to fit it, but it can be done. Mine is the XL one they sell. It's great for carrying a rain suit too!
