The bags are nice and seem to be the right size (not too big or too small). They have them for the Rocket. I want to install them on the TBA. http://leatherlyke.com

I tried for months to interest the folks at leatherlyke in building a set for the TBA/SM. No go. They took a bath on the Rocket III bag R&D because they're not selling.

Thats because there are not that many Rockets... Anyone know if the Rocket's rear fender bolts are the same widths as the TBA?

Me too. I tried back in 2002 and they totally blew me off. I think this was after somebody figured out that Honda Shadow brackets would fit our bikes, but they wouldn't even work with me to figure out if their Honda bags would work.
As far as the Rocket III goes, I know Corbin's bags are 2-3x as expensive, but d@mn they look so much better. (IMO)

Those do look great. Good size and nice price too. It is good to see some decent bags without all the studs, fringe and crap.

This is the response I got to my inquiry about LeatherLyke bags.
Dear Sir,
At this time we do not have plans to make bags for the Triumph America & Triumph Speedmaster.
That could alway change in the future.
Thank you.

Wow, they've made some progress. They're actually willing to admit there's a remote possibility. Idiots.
I was looking at some bags at the local leather shop that are similar to the leatherneckjim bags. Talk about beefy. Very nice.

I wish I hadn't read this post! I went to leatherneck jim's website, and I ended up buying a set of his Sedona bags. They are on sale for $399.95. I've had Saddleman Cruis'n Jumbo bags, with Easy Brackets, but I always thought I wanted something bigger. The Sedonas look to be considerably bigger. Now I will have to sell the Saddlemen bags, along with a matching sissy bar bag.

I went with Givis and at a good price. They are an average size, but can carry quite a few stuff. I mounted them using Easybrackets. See some of the pix in my gallery. http://www.bonnevilleamerica.com/photopo...=500&page=1

I think out of all the bags I have seen these look about the best. They also go with my seat setup like this as well
