One of the first ways most bikers pimp their new bike is to buy a set of leather motorcycle saddlebags. The cool part about this retrofit is the fact that the add on comes out of functionality more than style, but with the variety of saddlebags on the market, style is not a hard choice.

Saddlebags are a necessity for stowing articles a biker determines they will need for a trip of any length. Sometimes the size is determined by the amount of extra stuff that will be taken, which usually is multiplied when there is a rider.

Leather saddlebags made from hand dyed heavy weight vegetable tanned cowhide. Brown only. Dimensions: 14 1/2" x 9 1/2" x 5 1/2".

Before rushing out and buying a set of saddlebags, the bike owner should take measurements so there is no interference with pipes, seats, springs, etc. Another factor to be consider is if the owner prefers bracketed bags or throw overs.

Consideration of  the length of trips to be taken as well. No biker wants to be caught too far from home with too little room because they have too small motorcycle saddlebags.

One thing I considered when I bought my bags for Apache Rose was the fact that I’d be riding back and forth to work, The mornings could be chilly and the afternoons hot, so I needed room enough to store my leather chaps , jackets, gloves, and whatever else.

Bikerleather123.com carries a wide variety of real leather saddlebags, not that pvc crap, and is very helpful in with measuring and finding the perfect saddlebags. As a matter of fact, they can get leather motorcycle saddlebags custom made.

Why not give them a shout while looking for that perfect set of leather bags?
