I have one I don't or can't use anymore due to the larger tank. Can't get the straps through. You are welcome to it for free. Don't know if it's worth it to deal with the shipping though.
Hey Peter...would you be able to get a price on shipping to Melbourne, Australia 3028? USPS is fine. Should only be around $15.
I'll take it if that's the case...thankyou very much

Try nickel bags, they bigger and better quality anyways. As for rubbing masking tape works just fine. And one of the members here in a stage of making one, can't remember who now, hangover
Absolutely the worst item of cheap plastic at a stupid price that i have ever purchased for my bike. Complete and utter garbage in my humble opinion.
sorry, did i mention that i hate it and its a waste of money? Good
I've had mine for years, including with the larger fuel tank. I added additional paint protector strips, so the wear is not an issue. It was not easy to get it in place with the UE tank, but was doable, with lots of patience.
My bag typically holds my insurance paperwork, a leatherman, and a small stretch net that lets me secure things to the pillion in a pinch.
They are nicest I have seen, been on quite a few models actually even a Exile cycle and it didnt take away from the bikes style at all. The plain black ones anyways
Yes without the dopey pirate/Ben Franklin buckles and rivets and studs these types love so much for some reason. None of them look good, this one is least offensive and looks like it actually carries something.
I guess it depends on whether you want to ride or show. I've been riding Harleys for 30+ years. I used old-school "equestrian" "leather" saddlebags for years. Bikes were called "iron horses". First thing we did to our Harleys was remove the turn signals. V-Rods look great with some old-school touches, too. That includes chrome. Anybody out there ever heard of Dave Mann? Man. I'm getting old....
It isn't about show dude. Once you have lived with lockable, detachable proper waterproof hard luggage that can be removed from the bike in a couple of seconds and carried into a hotel room like a suitcase, all you can do is laugh at this archaic equestrian crap people stick on bikes. This is an example of an old 47 liter Krauser saddlebag, the first hard bags I had on a bike (after tiring of the lack of utility of leather bags)
If you need storage for small nick knacks, what is wrong with a small magnetic tank bag? 2007 and later the air box lids are steel. I use one from Chase Harper (US made, their factory is in Santa Barbara CA) called the "Stealth" tank bag that works wonderfully. It stays put and doesn't interfere with my riding at all.
I heard a little about an alternative mount, harleynurse. Can you tell me a littlle more?
Leatherneck Jim's sells the Leatherworks bag for the same price and since he is a vet., I wanted to support him.
ELUSIVE 1 has just posted two pictures of "right sided glovebox "in the bagger section. Evidently, Erik/E1 is keeping the mounting system top secret....till March 2013. E1 is also working on the Left glovebox. There will be optional bag/box materials to choose from,composite or leather .
Bill it will work,use a needle and thread to pull strap by fuel tank and if u have a dx the black
electrical tape can be used to protect belt guard and frame
Wow, so we went from Saddle Bags to Trunks to Windshields to Dashboards and now Glove Boxes? Fock people buy a goddamned car what the fock? A Focking Glove Box?
