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

Looks and fits good

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.

High 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!!!

Smallish 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.

The bag is a little smaller than I was expecting but it is well made. The straps hold it securely and it fits the swing arm nicely. The box contains the bag came in a larger box and the inner box had been opened before. The hard plastic backing had some light scratches like it had been installed before but the visible bag looked perfect. I fastened it with the buckles on the inside and it fits the large diameter of the swing arm perfectly. I can see where it could be loose on a smaller diameter rigid frame. Other than the slight stuffing I am happy with the purchase.

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

This is a well built and great quality bag. My problem is it is so small that I could not even put my cordless drill in it. I even removed the battery and it would not fit. It is very well made, I just thought the dimensions which are accurate would allow it to carry more, if your just looking to carry gloves and a set of glasses it is perfect if you want to carry anything, like a cordless drill just wont happen. I found myself calling it a bike purse and now I removed it and went back to bungee cords and strapping things to the sissy bar. But again I must say, high quality and easy to install, just not going to use as a saddle bag. My mistake not the manufacturers.

At a glance this is a good looking bag but it’s all down hill from there. Back side of the bag is a piece of hard plastic. Good for keeping the bag sturdy but not good for your paint. Not sure why they didn’t just put a plastic insert in the lining. The sides and bottom of the bag are sewn to the plastic backing and they don’t line up very well, it looks very shoddy. I do like the quick release buckles hidden behind the traditional metal buckles. Bag is smaller than I expected but it does fit well with the swing arm of my bike (2022 Harley Heritage Classic). The bag comes with 3 faux leather mounting straps that are stupid long. Aside from being way ridiculously long, the straps have metal buckles and the pin holes don’t go far enough down to get a tight fit on the swing arm. Straps and buckles take up a lot of space in this small bag. For the price, this bag should be made of leather, not have a slab of plastic for a back, and have some better craftsmanship. I do not recommend it. Only reason I gave it more than one star is because, in spite of everything, the bag does look pretty cool on my bike.

It just arrived today I was able to find a spot on where to install it. Seems sturdy, and looks neat on my bike. I like the size and the leather straps. Hope it last long

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.
