What do you mean by full R view?

It looks like a side view so R can't mean Rear.
It looks like a VRSCA so R can't mean VRSCR.

I presume that means "right side" view?

You are probably RIGHT. :)

They look good but i was unaware that HD made leather bags for the V Rod...

Are they made for V Rod or for another model??

They're made for the VROD... but as one of the owners of the original variant, I can offer these observations:


They shrink, making the snaps no longer match up.
The leather is poorly treated requiring lots of maintenance.
The badges are not mounted well... the studs have broken off of mine.
They don't carry much cargo and are an awkward shape.
The velcro closure wears out too soon requiring some user ingenuity to mod a more secure closing system.
They don't lock.


But they look good for the first few months! :)

Which is why Val coined the phrase FPOS bags.

Yep. Full Right view. My salesman warned me to use the H-D leather conditioner as soon as I got the bike home, so we'll see what happens...
And I can see that because they have to clear the exhaust, I won't be packing for a week long getaway for 2 anytime soon. That's why I also got the luggage rack!!!

I have a set and I can echo liquidsilver's observations - bought mine s/h with mounting bits missing (sometimes ebayers really give me the shits!). However, thanks to these and a small tour-pack that mounts on my luggage rack, I have been able to prove to my wife of 29 years that it IS possible to take a 7 day ride 2-up WITHOUT a hair dryer and just one change of T-shirts and undies for each day .... but you DO need to pack into plastic bags 'coz they aren't very waterproof either. And they give you a fat ass ...
