Nice touch, RIRAM. The speed wing trim has a nice art-deco look to it and your new trim works well with it.

I Googled the name on the back of the bags and they come from Jim Wear's leather shop in Laramie, Wyoming. IMO, he did nice work on those bags.

Thumbs up

The eGlideGoodies bags look like IronT bags...

The leather on my bags isn't quite as thick/heavy as the saddle leather of the IronT's, and the backing is some type of plastic (ABS?) instead of fiberglass, but they're still very nicley made...and I think I stole them at $200.

Thanks for the info. By the way, your bike is beautiful. I would say you absolutely stole those bags for $200.00. They really work on your bike and something you don't see very often (if at all).

Here are a couple of shots from along the way. One loaded, one unburdened (and without 4,500 miles of road on her)

Anybody running Avon Gangster wide whites? From what I've read looks are pretty good other than keeping the lettering clean, performance no so much.
