Hey all,

I finally found some hard bags that fit my taste and made to fit our bikes. B&B Reproductions makes a reproduction of an old Harley bag first made in 1952. A few months ago I contacted B&B and talked to him about fitting his bags for the America. Richard at B&B went to work at a local Triumph dealer and came through with flying colors. I am really impressed with the quality and craftsmanship. If you’re interested in these bags call Richard at B&B (814)422-8862 or check them out at www.bbreproductions.com. Tell Richard that Mark Case sent you.

Picture is in my Gallery (Photopost) labeled "New bags and seat".

Also… that’s one of those hand laced leather, low profile seats from newspeedmaster.com

Mark

YEEEAAA HAAA! Those look great! Are the American bag mounts similar to the HD items posted on his site? Similar price?

Everything is basically the same. The bracket has different dimensions to mount to the America. The prices are the same.

Thanks! Those are really going to get some attention from me when the $$$ free up. Especially since Leatherlyke has decided that there's no market for a TBA/SM hard bag :-(

Bill,
B&B made mounting brackets for the America. They are ready to bolt on. The pillon would be no problem. I'm not sure about the sissy bar.

Ordered mine today! Hope to have them late next week.

I gave up trying to convince Leatherlyke that there was a market for their bags here. Ditto with National Cycle (even though I think one of their Honda kits would be a direct bolt on).

Richard over at BB is a first rate guy to deal with and was happy to make adjustments in his design to accomodate my luggage rack.

Hey Mark, I love the look of your bike, but I have to ask you, How is the comfort of that beautiful seat, also how do you like the ape hangers?? You know Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery

meaning I may copy that look, its awesome.
