Studded Desert Tan Leather Motorcycle Saddlebags

I received the large saddle bags in brown for my 2020 Indian Scout. The leather is beautiful, smells great and these bags are a work of art. The American craftsmanship is excellent. In fact, my first impression is the bags are too pretty to put on the bike and expose them to weather, road grime and bugs!
Mounting the bracket on the bike was no problem on the right side but both bolts on the left side would not seat flush with the bracket despite several attempts and 3 in 1 oil. There was 1/4-1/2” exposed. I tried replacement bolts with the same issue. Customer service suggested taking the bike back to Indian to have the holes machined out. (My dealer is three hours away and I hoped to avoid the hassle) Finally I had to just use brute force to screw them in with an Allen wrench with a T handle. They seem seated properly. I was concerned about the bracket being in direct contact with the fender. I added neoprene washers but I am looking for a plastic washer to protect the paint.
The large size bags look beautiful on the bike and are well proportioned (I was concerned they might look to big for the bike) for the Scout and the color match is nearly perfect to the Indian seat leather (slight difference may be due to prior seat wear) . Riding with the bags empty I cannot tell any difference in performance. I will try loading them up next.
The bags lock to the frame and there is a ring that you can add a lock to secure the zipper. That would keep out the honest and curious but not a determined thief with a knife. They make the bike look so good they would likely just steal the whole bike!
I am very pleased with the purchase and would do so again. When I bought them the web site said there was only one left. Last time I looked it said there are now 3 left. The customer service rep. said they may start making more. I hope so because if I damage these I would definitely like to replace them.
Enjoy!

I purchased these bags to replace Indians leather bags that were damaged when my bike was hit in a parking lot. These bags hold so much more, were easy to install and look great on my bike. Customer service was top notch and shipping was fast, it's a shame that they are no longer making these bags.

These bags are bad ass fit and finish is outstanding perfect color match and they look amazing on my Scout so happy with my purchaseThanks US Saddlebag

The Saddlebag’s are perfect, I purchased them for my wife’s 2016 Indian Scout the installation after watching the YouTube video went great. Everyone who has seen them love the look on her bike!

Great bags! Easy to install the brackets. Match the leather on the seat almost perfectly, and look like they have been on it straight from the factory. Hold up to the Winnipeg weather well, they’ve been in the rain a handful of times now. Attaching and detaching from the bike Is a little tricky, best to have the bags empty if you’ve got large hands to get in the way. My only complaint is that the interior pouch should be removable, with a zipper or something, as it blocks your view and access to the cam locks and if you just lift it up get to them you dump the pockets out.
