Found a '90's Heritage bag cheap on Ebay. Now I have room for my leather jacket, which I often remove mid day here in So Cal. Been fantastic riding weather this winter. Bag removes easily in a couple min, 4 bolts.
Underseat area of my bike is not done yet. Stock seat can go in in a few min. as well, but I find this seat much more comfortable.
Funny to see that in France or in the USA, people might have the same ideas ... here is my 2012 Slim

Phil, I have seen several custom bikes in Europe and Sweden with one saddlebag.
Some with VERY large single bags, one even had a "roller" or wheel mounted to the rear axle bolt that rubs continuously on the inside of the bag.
I have never seen one bike here in the USA with a single "large" or "full size" saddlebag, and I do get lots of comments. "Where is the other bag"? I'm not saying there are none, I just have not seen one here. I do travel overseas a bit mostly work.
I was planning on a Speed King saddlebag, but at over $400.00 a pair, I thought this '90s bag would be fine and cost well under $100.00.
Im saving up for a Speed King bag. If anyone sees just a left side for sale, let me know. The Speed King bag is at least 2.25" narrower and would look a bit better, tucked in behind the engine case. Black rather than red trim would be fine.
Have to say I was not going to go with white grips on a sliver bike but man that looks nice. White spokes gives it a nice look as well not sure if I have that kind of money for wheels but you have a very nice looking slim, all I'll be able to afford is white walls lol all in all bad ***
Thanks man, the white spokes are just spoke wraps off ebay! My bike was black with white walls and I really wanted to change it up and stand out from all the other slims! They didn't have the avon white wall 21 when I got the wheels and I still can't find a white wall in an 18 for the rear so black walls it is. I do have white plug wires thou so at least that. I don't get on here much as I stick to the slim face book page. Your slim looks killer. My tins are bare metal with a satin clear coat but I am in the process of going to satin silver as there are a lot of crappy stops in the metal.

Hi Jetfever, I especially looked for a "small" Heritage saddlebag and found this one for 120 $. This the pre-90's heritage with 3 rows and it's really adapted to the way I wanted to be mounted. I even found some knuckle type stars which adds an old-school look to it.
my stock but not for long 2014 Slim, being a truck driver it's hard to put miles on her, owned her since Oct '14 and only has 450 miles on her. Adding pipes, intake and tuner here shortly, lovin' this bike more and more every day!
