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

The product page says this is incompatible with my 2021 Fat Bob 114, but I was able to attach to my swing arm with no issues. Overall it is an okay swing arm bag. If you compare it to the price of a similar HD made bags price it is worth the money. I like it enough to keep it. However the main factor behind that is another swing arm bag I wanted was out of stock. I was going to buy this one and the Hoodrat swing arm bag from Kuryakyn; Compare the two and return the one I liked less. There is some slack if you use the supplied synthetic leather straps to attach the bag. It is one of those situations where when you pull the strap through the buckle as tight as you can; The prong will line up between 2 holes and you cant quite make it to the tightest setting. I know others have been using 14 zip-ties and have had great success, which I may end up doing. Not primarily for a more snug mount but more to cut down on the clutter the straps create in side the bag its self. Once mounted the straps & buckles cause a decent amount of loss of storage capacity for such a small bag. Even with trimming the excess off the straps there is still a bit too much bulk for a bag with such low storage capacity. There are two main issues I have with this bag and both of them have to do with this hard plastic mold that lines the interior of this bag. The first is that plastic mold covers the two narrow sides (front end and rear end of the bike, but not the front side of the bag (clutch side of the bike). The back side of the bag (side near the swing arm) is entirely plastic mold with a plastic film on the exterior, not synthetic leather. The second issue is that the mold does not fully seat in the deepest corner. So there is a decent size gap between the plastic mold and the interior of the bag and this cuts out a good few square inches of storage capacity. This also creates a hassle when running your straps, as when you feed the strap it wants to go under the plastic molding. Takes some finesse to properly route in a space that you are working blind due to your hand obstructing your vision. After reading if you feel your main concern is that the product page shows it as incompatible with your soft tail; I say dont worry about that. I am willing to bet this will mount on any soft tail with a clutch side swing arm.

Excellent quality. I personally did not use the leather straps. I bought some 175lbs zip-ties for a cleaner more secure install.

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.

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.

Nice bag and fits my softail perfect.Pretty durable.All I know is its much cheaper than the Harley brand and quality seems about the same .

Great sturdy bag. I put it on myself and it took maybe 5 minutes. So far so good, I’m curious to see how long it will hold its shape. Will update review in the future. My bike is a 2022 Vulcan and it fits perfect.

Now I have extra storage for my air compressor and flat tire repair kit. Plus tools!

My third swing arm bag. This bag has amazing quality love the additional plastic liner against the actual swing arm; much better that leather against the metal of the bike.

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.

I have used this for three years. It has held up well and is in good condition. Unfortunately I am retiring this bag immediately. It has scratched my swing arm completely through the powder coat. (If your bike is chrome this may not be an issue) I had added padding under this bag to attempt to prevent cosmetic damage but was not successful. I will now be using a sissy bar bag to carry needful items. So consider if your paint job will be compromised by this.
