Yeah, that's Leonardo's bike.  The bags themselves don't have a ton of custom work (if I remember right, Dave (Leonardo's real name) added a second tail light to each bag, but that's about it), but the mounts and protection bars were fabbed from scratch.

His bike had a ton of custom work on it.  It was a beautiful ride.  he has since sold it to another member of the Delphi Drifter forum, so you may still see it at Drift-In.

The Buco bags look AMAZING!!---Here's a pic I found & fell in looooove!...They are sooo pretty on the Drifter!

If I'm remembering correctly, those bags were highly customized.  A lot of fab work went into them.

Those bags, as they have been customized for that bike, are my all-time favorite.   8)

Great looking bags, but kinda flimsy from what I've heard.

I saw these and liked the look...haven't looked into how well they'd fit on the drifter.

I have a very nice set of modified Harley leather bags that were OEM on the Sportster models that bolt right on provided you have the luggage rack. I could send some photos to you. My e-mail is ernscott@comcast.net    Regards Scott

Im actually having trouble with the same issue, i believe im going to get some flh bags and notch and then refiberglass the inside to fit over the shock where i want it to and not protrude out the back of the bike. then obviously make custom brackets.

only real problems im having is no deciding where to relocate my tag a brake light

There are few choices that bolt on. Its the mounts not necessarily the bags that are the issue. There will be more suggestions to follow from the senior membrs. But this company makes bags and mounts. The seat you will be using also matters. But with stock 2up you could buy these guys brackets and mount whatever bags you wanted.

I have decided I would like to put saddlebags on my 1500 Drifter but I'm having trouble finding just the right ones. I love Harley touring bags but of course they won't fit. But that is the style I like. I might consider leather bags if I can't find hard bags I like.

Does anyone have experience in this arena? Pictures, suggestions etc.?

Thanks in advance.
