Does anyone know of a solo saddlebag that will fit on the swingarm of the America? I'm looking for something that will give me a look similar to this:

(apologies for the picture of a HD on a Triumph forum)

Leatherworks carries a few that would probably fit our bikes. Take a look at their gallery.

Moe thanks for posting the pictures. I really like the distressed leather. I looked at the thread and it doesn't look like the guy decided to market them. I think I will find a local saddler or boot maker and have them give one a go.

I bought a Willie and Max swing arm bag that looks similar to one in the original post. Looks like it will fit nicely on the left side of my America if I can find some anchor points.

Have a bag on the right side of my 03. Two straps in the back go behind the side fender
mount. Not sure what brand it is, was put on by the previous owner. Works great, but got
a backrest / luggage rack (thanks Martin62!) that I'll be putting on in the Spring, so will be
taking this off. It has rubbed some of the paint off the chain guard, but otherwise its been
handy to have for miscellaneous gear.
