What is the Best Saddle Bags for the 04 1500 classic?

I`m looking at the Kawa Hard Leather Saddlebags, but would really like to see them on a bike, plus they are priced kinda steep. Their size looks right for me though....... 21" x 12" x 7" :wink: .

Any other opinions?

I bought some throwovers, but they're just not going to work.

I bought leatherlykes when I purchased my 2001 1500 Vulcan. Bags are now 8 years old and look as good as the day I bought them. Am extremely satisfied with them and would definitely buy them again.

I've got leatherlykes on my 1500. I only had them installed for 10 miles though! I've had them on 2 prior bikes though and they work well. Oh, and Nomad bags work quite well!

To the leatherlyke owners, after your bags start looking a little tired and start to fade somewhat, here's a tip to keep the bags looking like new. Purchase a can of S-100 engine brightener. Your local Harley dealer should have it. About 8 bucks a can and a can will last quite some time. Clean your bags to remove the dirt and road grime. Let bags dry. Make sure bags are thouroughly dry before applying the S-100. Spray the S-100 on the bags and lightly buff with a soft lint free cloth. Bags will look like new. Have been using the S-100 on them for 8 years and no problems. They look as good today as when I purchased them. S-100 will not remove the scratches or dings, but will restore the lustre. S-100 renews black engine cases, cylinders. Rejuvenates dull plastic and rubber. It's also high temperature and detergent resistant. Good stuff and no, I am not a dealer for the stuff.
