- February 23, 2015, 06:41:04 AMCan someone with a solo seat rail measure the OD of the tubing for me? I'm wanting to fabricate one, and I thought I'd better get the low-down on the size so I don't have to guess. Looks like about 3/8-1/2" in the various pics I have found... I'm guessing they might vary from one to the next.
A picture to go along with your measurements would be appreciated as well...
Thanks in advance....

I think the hard bags with leather covering is a good compromise between usefulness and extra space while still looking nice on the bike ( with the leather).... If the shape blends in well enough.Ok, what are you after?
I haven't asked the boss yet.

- February 15, 2015, 14:44:05 PMThese are HD Road King leather hard bags. I scaled them to the best that I can, based on some e-bay sellers dimensions. I thought they might look acceptable on the 1500, any ideas???
I believe the bags shown "mounted" on the bike are referred to as the "classic" version, and the extra bag floating around there on the left side view is the "custom" version. I think I like the lines of the classic one better against the fender.
These are widely available, it seems, at a fairly reasonable price.
