> 3 dayI have a 2010 Softail Fat Boy and I needed something to carry a few items for my commute. This bag fits great on the bike and looks like it belongs there. The cost was very reasonable and it actually holds more than you would expect. I am able to pack my lunch with several cans of soda and close it securely. On weekends, my girlfriend can stash her small purse with our wallets and such in the bag when we ride together. The build of the bag is very good and I highly recommend it for someone that needs a little bit of room to carry items for a very reasonable cost.

> 3 daySmallish but thats what I was after, replaced tool bag on forks. Stays where you put it. Very handy and good looks too on my Breakout, wife bought one for her Softail. Quick connect on open/close straps is nice.

> 3 dayMy 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.

Greater than one weekI 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!

> 3 dayHigh quality, well made bag. Because the Drifter model is a quite “different” set up, I used heavy duty tie wraps to secure the bag to the swingarm and the chrome fender bumper rail. It lined up perfectly and moves with the arm/ fender/ rail. I’ll use the leather straps it came with to mount a tool bag to my other bike. It’s got a weather flap inside secured by a solid snap, and a hard plastic liner to help it keep its shape. Quick releases hidden behind the leather straps/ chrome buckles are a great touch and make for ease of use. I’d certainly buy this again and recommend it to anyone looking for this style bag. The lifetime warranty is a bonus!!!

Greater than one weekGreat little bag. A lot of people in the reviews said they went with zip ties because they couldnt get the provided leather straps to work out but they worked out great on my 04 Deuce. For what it is it packs some room. Ive got a Cruz Tools HD roll up tool kit, battery tender cigarette plug, ram phone mount, zip ties, battery tender jumper cables, and a shop rag all in the bag. Yes it completely full, no room left. But as I said for what it is its great. Seems to be a really good quality bag. If time tells otherwise Ill be sure to check back in but as of right now Im real happy with it.

> 3 dayNice bag but the attachments were a little loose. Added some zip ties to it and it worked out perfectly
