Dowco Willie & Max Brass Monkey Brown Swingarm Bag - Softail or Triangulated Swingarms - 59777-08, 10.5 x 11.5 x 4.5

Bag looks great, was easy to install. Craftsmanship seems top notch, and it came with protective strips for the pain on the swing arm. Fits really well on the 2020 Softail. Ill update as time goes on to how well it holds up. So far so good. Made in America which makes it even better.

So far so good, let’s see how it holds at speed. Installation was a little tricky on my SpeedMaster, but got it on . Will update once I ride it.

I have a dyna wideglide and this bag only worked with my application using my detachable sissy bar. Its designed for a soft tail, using the upper and lower swing arm. I did a 9 day trip thru 4 states and 5 of the 4 days where thunder storms and the bag keep its original form. I packed my rainsuit in it and thats all that I could fit. Not a large bag but it did a fantastic job for my needs.

First this is a good quality good choice for this type of bag. If you want one exactly like this one with the Harley Davidson logo I spotted it at the local dealer for $269.00. No thanks. However, I tried three times to install this before I figured it out. From my experience I say step one is to throw away the leather straps that come with them. I tried twice to install it with the leather straps they provide, got frustrated and walked away. For one it is like the buckles on the leather straps are backwards. What I finally did is stopped at the local auto parts store and bought the widest largest zip ties they had. I then took a zip tie and fed it through the bottom hole and just started it. I then fed a tie through the two top holes and then pulled both of them tight. Once I had both of them tight I pulled the bottom one tight and clipped them all off. I pulled them tight and cut them off inside the bag for appearance purposes. The whole process with the zip ties took me about 5 minutes. I had wasted more time then that trying to attach them with the leather bands to no avail.

This is a great looking leather bag. The stitching is sturdy and the bag is solid. It has clip fasteners under the Buckles which makes accessing the bag very convenient. I definitely recommend this product.

This is a great bag for the price. If you’re looking for saddle bag capacity, order saddle bags. If you need a place for a few smaller items, this is great. I have my emergency tools in here and there’s plenty of room.

I Installed the bag on my 2015 H-D Fat Boy. I didnt expect the 3 slot sets for the straps to line up exactly with my swing arm, the top (2) slot sets were pretty good, I should have used my Dremel Tool to make a new slot closer to the middle of the bag to line up with the lower bar of the swing arm. Pros are: The bag is a nice size to hold several items. It fit the bike fine, still room for my throw over leather saddle bags & doesnt effect the passenger foot peg. The stiff plastic back works fine as support. I used the self adhesive plastic film that came with the bag on the swing arms. I could have used the (3) straps, but went with what others have recommended, use heavy duty zip strips, it secured the bag tighter & made up for the slight misalignment of the slot sets. Even though it is not leather, the strong synthetic material is sturdy enough & looks good (see the attached photos). The quick release buckle straps are nice & a good idea. Cons are: The thick plastic back has sharp edges all the way around & on the backside of the (3) slot sets. The reason for 4 stars is because they manufactured the bag with rounded edges on the interior part of the (3) slot sets. So I ended up using the Dremel tool to round all the edges, then even went one step further & secured a sheet of vinyl cloth to the entire back with contact cement & then cut slits where the prefab slots are. This was like having an additional benefit to aid the self adhesive plastic film cushion the bags back to the swing arm preventing any possible rubbing of the paint. I am pretty satisfied with this Dowco Willie & Max swing arm bag & look forward to many years of use. Round the edges Dowco of your future bags & you definitely will earn 5 stars! Good job!

Took a round file and cleaned strap slits in the plastic back wall. I was afraid that rough edges will cut through the straps. Also mounted straps from inside the bag. It eats some available space up, but looks safer. Fits 2021 HD Softail Slim, but I didnt ride with it yet. Update 5/25/2022 Took a few rides and the bag is still there!

Nice bag but the attachments were a little loose. Added some zip ties to it and it worked out perfectly

This is a well built and great quality bag. My problem is it is so small that I could not even put my cordless drill in it. I even removed the battery and it would not fit. It is very well made, I just thought the dimensions which are accurate would allow it to carry more, if your just looking to carry gloves and a set of glasses it is perfect if you want to carry anything, like a cordless drill just wont happen. I found myself calling it a bike purse and now I removed it and went back to bungee cords and strapping things to the sissy bar. But again I must say, high quality and easy to install, just not going to use as a saddle bag. My mistake not the manufacturers.
