I have the LeatherWorks 110 with the wide straps and Easy Brackets. The bags carried most of my stuff on my trip from NorCal to South Dakota last year. Suits my need just fine. Here is a picture of similar bags on a Valkyrie. http://www.leatherworksinc.com/motogallery/Honda.php |

I purchased leather bags a few years ago from Leatherneck Jim. They are thick leather, excellent high quality all the way. I got them with the quick mount/dismount feature, and each bag has a lock on it. Very good service too. No affiliation, etc. Give him a try.

I believe that Leatherneck Jim's are actually LeatherWorks bags and he drop ships the bags. It's one way to avoid sales tax if you live in California. |

The ones shown on eBay "say they are for Harleys," but many of them are universal. I would guess that the same folks would carry the correct ones for you. Just "ask (the seller) a question." |
