I have a Leatherworks 312 on my Night Train. It is indeed a quality item. Highly recommend them.

Everyone raves about them some like the 5" thick and others dont. Another option is garage leathers. Both are excellent products and i dont think you can go wrong with either.

I love mine, 5" leatherworks, and just did the fabrication of a mounting bracket that bolts in to the belt guard holes so that I don't have to use the leather straps or the zip ties (since i did for a year and even though i padded my swing arm, the zip ties tore through the powdercoat on the swingarm)

I have the 3" one on my Rocker. At least it's one place to store something. Hard mounted mine like sgt Jim so I wouldn't have to worry about the straps rubbing through paint

Can one of you guys post up a pic of the mounting bracket you fabbed up to keep the bag from eating the powdercoat? I want a framebag but don't want my swingarm finish all jacked up when I take it off.
Thanks in advance!
