Default Left side saddle bag?

I am in the market for a LH side saddle bag for my 72. I just want black. I know there are a few out there from different manufacturers. HD, La Rosa, I know there are more of them.

Which one are you guys using and why do you like it?

Thanks

Have you look at Licks cycles?

I have a La Rosa but if I could do it again I would get a licks bag, better quality and it has clicks to close and open the saddle bag which makes it 10x faster. The la rosa just has the belt straps which "I may sound lazy" but takes longer and mines is already ripping on the holes where the belt piece goes inside to close it.

Harley bag on mine. It is pretty big, has bracket mounting and is very well made.

A friend of mine bought a la rosa one, very well made but for me too tiny, I can't see the point of spending that sort of cash on a bag and only getting one pair of waterproof trousers inside it,
I ordered a set of throw over bags and only use one of them, I bought the throw overbags, metal rod, fuel bottle and holder and it all cost far far less than la rosa and licks and it's twice if not more bigger!

I am liking the Rich Philips one. How does it mount on the bike?

I have and like the HD solo bag. It is "hard" mounted to the frame and it holds a decent amount of stuff.

If you don't plan on using the passenger pegs the HD is much better than the Lick's/LaRosa in my opinion. Much more space and much more sturdy.

Rich Phillips mounts with two big zip ties. Had mine on for about a year.
