Hey Don, Is that two different ways to fit the bag and how does it attach to the bike? Is the Battery cover on or off in the forward pic? Is the bag the same leather as your Series three throwover Sportster bags just in Brown?
Put me down for one.

Hey Don, Is that two different ways to fit the bag and how does it attach to the bike?

Just a couple of examples of how to attach the bag. Different folks attach them in different locations and positions. The bags have three 20 inch straps on the rear you can use them in different ways to strap the bag on.

Is the Battery cover on or off in the forward pic?

Yep the cover is off I lost the darn thing!

Is the bag the same leather as your Series three throwover Sportster bags just in Brown?

Very similar leather.

Put me down for one.

I'm taking advance orders. I only have a few coming so I'm letting folks order in advance. Here's the link:

Yep, if they catch on I'll add black to the line. Probably Spring 2010.

I was planing on going with black to start with but the dark brown looked so good I decided to start with them.

Hi,

I have a limited number of the Solo bags in black ETA a week or two. I'll give everyone here an update when they arrive. They will be listed in the Yahoo store as well.

Ozark

Hey Don, any thoughts about a solo bag for the right side (oil tank)? Might be useful to have a pair of solo's........then again they wouldn't be solo would they.:D

Funny that you should mention that.... My first prototype was accidentally made as a mirror image of the bag I wanted. so it ended up being a right hand bag. Communicating with people on the other side of the planet that speak a different language can be interesting. :doh

In any case in answer to your question. I have one right hand bag. If your interested PM or email me: donc314@hotmail.com and I'll give you the details on this bag. I would like for one of the Forum members to check it out and let everyone know what you think. Who knows maybe they will sell like crazy :)

Shipping to Brazil is no problem. Yes they will fit your 07 R. I should be receiving a few black bags soon. I'll update the Yahoo store adding them as soon as they are available. I'll also give everybody here a heads-up as soon as they arrive.

I designed them for EVOs but I can see no reason why you couldn't put one on your Iron head.

Will you offer the discount when they become available in black? I hope so. Looks good.

Are these made in the U.S. or overseas?

I am not offering an advance buy deal on the black ones because I have never seen one. I'm sure they will be fine but I don't want to sell something in advance that I have never laid eyes on.

Thanks

I can't believe you don't offer next day Transporter delivery....

Hi,

Until they are all spoken for or the delivery arrives whichever comes first. I anticipate the offer to end in a week or two.

Okay, my order's in. I just hope it doesn't come before December 1st because that's when the lease on my shipping address starts.

Received a heads-up from my supplier. The Solo bags and New Dyna bags are due to reach port early December. I'll be shipping them about five business days after they clear customs.

In the mean time I have about five Brown Solo bags that haven't been spoken for. Get'em while you can. LINK (http://donscycleware.com/dcwsysobanew.html)

Next delivery? Probably February or March 2010. Leather prices are high, the supply of the leather used in the brown bags is low, the dollar is low. I'm negotiating prices for the next order.

Thanks

Hi folks,

I just got off the phone with my vendor. My order has cleared customs and will head my way late today or early tomorrow ETA 12/16/09. Your advance orders should ship within 24 hours.

I will have a few available in black if they pass my incoming inspection.

The Dyna bags are also included in this shipment. I will update the web store to accept orders at that time as well.

The advance order opportunity is over however the Syde Kicks are still very low priced. With your XL Forum discount they are 75 bucks and change.

Thanks,

Ozark

Side kick bag arrived today...looks great. I'll post some pics when it's mounted.

Hi,
OK, two questions:

a) I'm not clear on how the bag mounts onto the bike.
I see listed three 20" long straps, but what do you do with them? I've got another bag that came with two shoelaces:laugh and no instructions for mounting...:doh
Does your bag secure to the frame rail or to the swing arm/"rear fork"? Could you explain or show us a pic of the back side of the bag or something?

b) Will you ship USPS? We don't use UPS up here because they charge outrageous "brokerage fees", whereas USPS does not.

c) I'm good with the brown. :wonderlan

It depends on where you want to mount them. I used three straps so that you could mount them wherever you want. The idea was to give you lots of flexibility to choose the mounting location.The straps can easily be relocated to any position you need them. When they are mounted snug against the shock. They strap onto the frame.
http://xlforum.net/photopost/data/1138/medium/solo_install_2_006.jpg

I have been trying to upload a photo of the strap locations for you but for some reason it won't upload. I'll try again in an hour or so.

All orders are shipped via USPS unless my customers request otherwise. You are absolutely correct. USPS and the Canadian postal department have an agreement where postal packages are not charged a customs processing charge. Other carriers charge for this service.

I have several brown and very few black left.


Ozark

Mine arrived today. Looks good, just a couple of tweaks from the prototype right hander, with the three straps as opposed to the bootlaces and an extra rivet or two. I'll fit it over the holidays. Just a dry fit with the pair looks cool. I'll attempt confronting my nemisis and post a pic or two when my patience is at peak performance.;)

if you happen to get another mirrored image bag aka a right side bag let me know and ill order up a pair in black if possible

Those look awesome!! There wouldn't happen to be any of the brown left for the special price would there???? ;)

The LH Syde Kicks are selling pretty good. I'll set up an advance order opportunity for the right hand bags before I order the production next run. Who knows? Maybe they will sell as good as the Lefties.

It mounted easy to the frame underneath the fuse box. The passenger peg can be used for a support. The only drawback is relearning the kick stand because the bag blocks it a little. You have to be a little careful at first.

I just ordered a LH bag in black. I sent an email to Don asking about the pictures on the yahoo store, showing a RH bag originally in place of pics for a LH solo bag. He emailed me back within an hour or so, and I placed my order through the site. That's great customer service.

I do my best.

Incidentally your bag is packaged and ready to go. I really appreciate the order.

The Solo bags are selling pretty well and the Dyna bags are doing great so I'm adding more to my production order for April. I have a conundrum regarding colors so I'm going to set up a survey to see how many prefer black and how many prefer brown.

I would appreciate any input the forum members can provide.

Thanks

Ozark

Just received my order. I'm really impressed with the bag and it looks like a very usable size. You can't beat the fast shipping too, and Ozark answered my question almost immediately via email. Price is better than competitive as well, some of the other bags are just too much.
