17L - Military Medium Leather Motorcycle Saddlebags for Harley Sportster 883 Iron XL883N

Love the look. The quality is great. Didn't take long to receive it. Just wish it came with better instructions.

Fantastic look and phenomenal customer sevice

Solid construction, only wish there were a more secure way of mounting to the bike, the mounting method works and I have had no issue but seams like it may fail eventually.

I like these bags, so far. Only had them on about three weeks or so. They hold much more than you would think. Two loaves of bread vertically, per bag, not too bad. I can carry my daily hat and a spare change of clothes, if the weather is going to be questionable. I also like that they came with the brackets, and installing them didn't require moving the rear tail lights. However, my biggest gripe about them is that the plastic backing that's made into the backside mounting surface of the bags isn't very sturdy, structurally. The first thing I did upon installing them is go to the local hardware store and get 2.5 inch washers to try to distribute the clamping load across a greater subsection of the bags to hold them tighter to the mounts and get less sagging. This helped, but they still aren't as sturdy as I would like. They can still sag a bit and/or flop around in the breeze. The next thing I'm going to try is to get some sheet steel and cut a bag shaped piece and mount that inside the bag to help keep them sturdy and tight against the mounts with an even greater clamping force across the whole back of the bags. For ~$150 though, I can't complain at all. Going from a simple swing arm bag to these has made a night and day difference. I can now run down to the grocery store or head out on a long trip without having to worry if I can carry anything. Which leads to more riding, which is good.

Bags look great. Install was a little not difficult than the instructions let on, but all is good!
