Hey, I have the normal leather Saddleman saddlebags, but they leak water whern it rains. Anyone know of some really good leather bags that don't leak? I have a 2002 Standard Valk with an Ultimate rider seat and stock driver seat. Millsie

If the leakage is occurring from a poorly fitting cover then the cure is to make the cover fit better.
If the leakage is from the porous seams the cure would be to get seam sealer and treat the seams.

I have Leather Works bags because I couldn't afford Boss. Never leaked so far.

The OEM leather bags look nice as long as they're not sagging. Mine always kept my goods dry, even in the heaviest, all-day rain. If you don't want to buy used, you can still get them new from HDL and other places.

I have always put a HD garbage bag into my bags, that guarantees that if all of a sudden, a lid seal fails, my gear stays dry.
