Got the Chopper bag in.....

[Bmarchant]

Here is the Chopper Bag, made to fit a Big Dog chopper/K9 with a swing arm, and the license plate on the left side. Its the same lady that made Reapers. Her name is Aimee, and she can be reached at The Leatherworks.

She does amazing work guys.....

Looks great, glad you like it. I notice you have the single strap as opposed to the double on mine.

Yeah, Amiee is awesome, she defiantly produces a quality product.:2thumbs:

Anybody put one on a 08 or later Ridgeback?

08ridgid was suppose to get one of these bags as well, but don't know if he got it yet.

Hey Reaper,
Thanks. I'm real happy with it. Its gonna be nice to have a place to put a few things on my ride home from work, instead of in my hoodie..... Really sucked having to wear a hoodie home when it was 100 degrees. Cold in the morning, hot at night....... Froze on the way in, and melted coming home. Thanks again.

Amiee suggested doing the single strap to see how it looked, so I thought I'd give it a go.

Hey V,
I can't imagine this not fitting on a newer dog. It mounts on the swingarm with 4 leather straps. I even have enough room to use the passenger pegs.

It looks kinda low; does it scrape the ground when taking left turns?

Looks good, and I was wondering the same thing

No problem, glad it worked out for you. I love mine, I put what I could in the tool roll I had, and loaded my pockets with everything else, what a pain that was.
But now, no tool roll, and nothing in my pockets, these bags are awesome.:2thumbs:

 

[superfly]

does she have one to fit a mastiff or pitbull?

Should be the same.

 

[Bmarchant]

Hey SuperFly,
Give her a call. I ordered mine, and had it in less then two weeks. Like Reaper said, it should be the same, since it straps to the swing arm with 4 straps.

I haven't had a problem, honestly I scrape (my kickstand i think), but the bag doesn't have a mark on it. So something else is hitting way before the bag. Been scraping whatever it is way before I put the bag on. The bag sits no lower then my primary, and it doesn't stick out quite as far.

I'll take a photo from that angle and post it. Maybe Reaper can comment if he has scraped the bag yet.

Yours looks slightly different than the one I'm seeing on their website...yours doesn't appear to be as wide/bulky:

I like the way yours looks better! :up:

 

[Brew]

I agree, his looks like it may go a tad bit lower also compaired to the ones on the site there.

 

[Reaper]

Here, these pictures may help. My bag is made by the same company, but with the two buckle design. There are no issues with scraping, looks great, works great.

 

[Brew]

Ok, that sheds some light on the issue. That looks good! Thanks for clearing the air Reaper. For some reason the earlier pictures made the bag look pretty long, maybe a shadow affect...:2thumbs:

I got my bag in this week, I had my bag made 4" deep instead of the 3" Reaper has. I haven't spent too much time on the bag yet but I'm working on some adjustment issues (moving angle of plate, passenger pegs, kickstand contact).

Nice quality bag! :up:

 

[Bmarchant]

Thanks Reaper for the photos. My photos were done with my cell phone, and I was in a hurry to get back to work when I took them. Like I said, the bag sits higher then my primary, and doesn't scrape at all. I think you guys will be very happy with it. I know I am.

Hi 08ridgid, check your PM's, I sent instructions on getting the bag properly attached to your bike.
