Dowco Willie & Max Brass Monkey Black Motorcycle Swingarm Bag - Softail or Triangulated Swingarms - 59776-08

A couple of weeks ago, I purchased this item and it is perfect for my 2018 H-model The FXBB Street Bob is a Harley-Davidson. As a result, I notified them as I have registered my motorcycle in my garage and it tells me it is not going to.

My 2021 Fat Bob 114 is not listed as compatible on the product page, but I was able to attach this to my swing arm without a problem. Overall, it seems to be an okay bag for swing arms. the price of this bag with the price of a similarly made HD bag, you will find it to be worth the price. My favorite part of it is that I still have In the end, there was a factor of availability, however, behind this as another swing arm bag I wanted was unavailable. From Kuryakyn, I was planning to purchase both this bag and the Hoodrat swing arm bag Comparing the two, I would return the one I disliked the most. There is some slack in the synthetic leather straps supplied with the bag if you use them to attach it. When you pull a belt through a buckle as tightly as you can, it results in the straps jamming inside the buckle. In the tightest setting, the prong will line up between two holes and you won't be able to get it all the way in. Some of my peers have been using the 14" zip-closure I may even try my hand at something similar that others have already done and have found great success with. To reduce the clutter in the inside of the bag itself and not just to keep it more snug, rather than to create a tighter fit on the strap. As soon as the straps and ties are mounted, When such a small bag is equipped with buckles, there is a decent amount of storage capacity loss. after trimming the excess off the straps, there is still a bit too much bulk for a bag with such small There are two main issues I have with this bag, both of which have to do with the hard plastic mold that lines the interior. A first issue is that the two wide sides (front end and rear end of the bike, but not the front side of the bag (clutch side of the bike) are all covered in plastic mold. Unlike the exterior of synthetic leather, the backside of the bag (side near the swing arm) is entirely made from plastic mold with a plastic film on the exterior. A second problem is that the mold does not fully seat in the corner with the deepest ridge. As a result, there is a good sized gap in the interior of the bag between the plastic mold and the interior of the bag, which results in a loss of some storage space. When you run your straps, this also creates a hassle, since when you feed the strap, it wants to go under the It requires a certain amount of finesse to route in a space where you are working blindly because your hand is blocking your view. That is nothing to be concerned about. The clutch side swing arm on a soft tail with a clutch mount should mount this.

During the last month or so, I have installed this bag on my 2015 H-1 Fat Boy is D Fat. My 3 strap slot sets for the straps did not line up perfectly with my swing arm. The top (2) slot sets were fine, but I should have used my Dremel Tool to make a new slot at the middle of the bag so it would line up with the lower bar. There are a lot of pros A bag of this size is suitable for holding a number of The saddlebags fit on the bike just fine, and there was still room for my throw over leather saddlebags & other gear Neither the passenger foot peg nor the driver foot peg are affected. In addition to the stiff plastic back, I also used the self adhesive plastic film that came with the bag to make the swing arms more secure. It would have been possible to use the (3) straps, but I went with what others have suggested, using a heavy duty zipper. It kept the bag tight and prevented spills In addition, the slot sets were aligned properly to make up for the slight misalignment. However, the strong synthetic material is sturdy and durable despite not being made of leather The attached photos show what it looks like (see the attachment). I like how easy it is to release and release the buckle straps This is a great There are a number of cons. There are sharp edges on the thick plastic back, as well as a soft interior. There are (3) slots set on the backside of each coin slot. There are rounded edges on the interior parts of the (3) slot sets, which is the reason I gave the bag 4 stars. As a result, I used the Dremel to round all the edges, and then followed that by going one step further and rounding the corners as well. We attached a sheet of vinyl cloth to the entire back with contact cement and stitched it into place Next, slit the slots where the prefabs are located. To me, having a plastic film self-adhesive to cushion the bags back to the swing arm and prevent them from rubbing against the paint was an added benefit. My opinion on this Dowco "Willie & Jack" is quite positive. This bag combines a swing arm and a thigh bag. We hope to use this product for many years to come. Ensure your future bags & backpacks are rounded off with Dowco 5 stars are definitely in order for you! You did a great.

I thought it was spec, but it wasn't. There is also a description stating 3) but I highly doubt that is true. In terms of size, it is quite Honestly, I don't mind the size at all because I don't need a lot of space and I just need to fit one lunch Tupperware and a typical 700ml beverage bottle in. But that is all it fits and it hardly The installation was a pain in the ass since it's designed for triangulated swingarms (this is an important detail that I missed but did point out Although I was unable to get it on, I did get it I did not receive a clear vinyl in my package either. While I like Dowco's products, this was a let down in my case, albeit a minor one. The price would have kept me from giving it a star, but I'll give it one or two stars because of the low price. Due to this, as well as the fact that it DOES fulfill my intended use for it and looks good on the bike despite the tricky install, it gets a I did not rate the install since it was not made for my swing arm. I am also not rating Sturdiness as I have not had enough time to review it. However, I would give it 5 stars with regard to You won't find many good options on Amazon for under $100.

My new 2021 Street Bob fits the bag perfectly. The line of the swing arm is followed perfectly by the swing arm. As with all bags supplied with straps, these have a sturdy construction however, after reading other reviews, I decided that I would use velcro straps I already owned for the installation. My swing arm is protected from scratches on the bike frame by using the vinyl strips they provide on the back of the bag, not directly on the swing arm of the bike.
Great product. The installation process is very simple. There is no room for my clear glasses, so this is just perfect to store extra gloves and carry my clear glasses for night riding.
