Saddlebags, Sissybar Bags and Tool Bags - American Made
|
|
|
The Leatherworks prides itself
on the American Made quality workmanship that is put into every
motorcycle saddlebag. You'll also find great classic styling
with a rare attention to detail. The Leatherworks offers more
customizing choices for your motorcycle saddle bags than anyone
in the business. All of The Leatherworks saddlebags can be made
with a zipper detachable yoke or made bolt on ready for use with
the Easy Brackets detachable system. All the roller buckles are
backed by a Quick Release allowing the rider to access the inside
of the bag in seconds. The Leatherworks, Inc., founded in 1976,
makes handcrafted Saddlebags and Tool Bags with uncompromising
care from premium 10 ounce, American-tanned harness and Latigo
leather. |

Information about "Bolt-on
Ready" and "Throw-over" Saddlebags: |
|
For an even stronger saddlebag
with greater structural stability, the Leatherworks has reinforced
all bolt on ready bags with ABS plastic that is the full size
of the back, not just strips. The plastic is about 0.25 inches
thick. This is done for all bolt on bags and all larger throw
over bags, including the 110 saddlebags. (if you order Easy Brackets
from American Side Road Cycles, we’ll make sure you get
the proper support). |
|
The Leatherworks "Bolt-on Ready"
saddlebags
have specially reinforced
backs. Mounting hardware (bolt-on brackets) is not provided.
You may purchase this hardware from your dealer, a trusted aftermarket
supplier or from American Side Road Cycles - the Leatherworks
bags are designed to work with just about any bolt-on system
out there. We sell Easy Bracket brand bolt-on hardware systems
that you can purchase with the bags or separately. The reinforcements
are designed to work with any bolt-on system that is currently
on the market. Because the Leatherworks saddlebags are designed
to fit multiple motorcycle makes and models, as well as just
about any OEM and aftermarket bolt-on system, it is not practical
for them to pre-drill the holes in the back of the saddlebags
(can you say "Swiss cheese"). You'll need to do this
to properly fit these saddlebags to the bolt-on system you select.
The other reason is that everyone has their own preferences as
to how high/low or back/forward they want to mount their bags.
Because of these preferences and the different systems, we've
found it best to not pre-mount anything. With the use of lowering
kits, the main thing is to be sure the bags clear the pipes and
axle nuts, which with the Easy Brackets means putting the bracket
lower on the back of the bike to get the clearance that is needed.

The Leatherworks "Throw-over"
saddlebags
are designed with an adjustable
zippered yoke that connects the two sides of the saddlebag together.
On the zipper detachable bags, they have straps across the back
which go between the bike and the bag on the support brackets.
In other words, the support brackets slip between these straps
to hold the bags in place. This yoke is designed to go under
the seat. We highly recommend saddlebag supports for throw-over
bags. These are fairly common "U-brackets" that keep
the bags from getting caught in the shocks, gears, wheels and
other parts of the bike. We offer these "U-bracket"
type supports from MC Enterprises. The Leatherworks warrantees
do not cover damage caused by the lack of proper saddlebag supports.
With the use of lowering kits, the main thing is to be sure the
bags clear the pipes and axle nuts.
