Default 06 SG replace hard bags with leather hard bags

Doing 80 mph down the interstate, hit a big bump, left bag comes unlatched, opens, lid is ripped off and smashed by the cars behind me. I have had the latches replaced and have had the latches open when hitting rather large bumps. I am now looking at replacing the hard bags with leather hard bags. Something simillar to the Road King Classic bags. Anyone replace their bags or have ideas for manufacturer and or retailers to contact? Ideas or pictures?

I think the leather bags would look cool on the SG. I am looking at leather RK custom bags to try on mine

There is a guy with a white Street Glide with leather bags on here. Doesn't look bad at all.
