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

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

The product page says this is incompatible with my 2021 Fat Bob 114, but I was able to attach to my swing arm with no issues. Overall it is an okay swing arm bag. If you compare it to the price of a similar HD made bags price it is worth the money. I like it enough to keep it. However the main factor behind that is another swing arm bag I wanted was out of stock. I was going to buy this one and the Hoodrat swing arm bag from Kuryakyn; Compare the two and return the one I liked less. There is some slack if you use the supplied synthetic leather straps to attach the bag. It is one of those situations where when you pull the strap through the buckle as tight as you can; The prong will line up between 2 holes and you cant quite make it to the tightest setting. I know others have been using 14 zip-ties and have had great success, which I may end up doing. Not primarily for a more snug mount but more to cut down on the clutter the straps create in side the bag its self. Once mounted the straps & buckles cause a decent amount of loss of storage capacity for such a small bag. Even with trimming the excess off the straps there is still a bit too much bulk for a bag with such low storage capacity. There are two main issues I have with this bag and both of them have to do with this hard plastic mold that lines the interior of this bag. The first is that plastic mold covers the two narrow sides (front end and rear end of the bike, but not the front side of the bag (clutch side of the bike). The back side of the bag (side near the swing arm) is entirely plastic mold with a plastic film on the exterior, not synthetic leather. The second issue is that the mold does not fully seat in the deepest corner. So there is a decent size gap between the plastic mold and the interior of the bag and this cuts out a good few square inches of storage capacity. This also creates a hassle when running your straps, as when you feed the strap it wants to go under the plastic molding. Takes some finesse to properly route in a space that you are working blind due to your hand obstructing your vision. After reading if you feel your main concern is that the product page shows it as incompatible with your soft tail; I say dont worry about that. I am willing to bet this will mount on any soft tail with a clutch side swing arm.

This bag went on easily and fit perfectly. I got the one with the black buckles and it looks great on my 21 Softail Slim with the Denim paint scheme. I used the included leather straps and have no problem with them, although I can see how thick zip ties would work well too. The bag doesnt move and it actually holds more than I thought it would (I can keep a pair of safety goggles, reader glasses (both in hard cases) as well as a ball cap in there, without crushing the cap). No complaints.

This bag fit my Honda Rebel 500 perfectly...once I stopped trying to get the stupid straps to work. Zipties will get you a much more solid fit. I didnt want saddle bags as I felt they changed the look of the bike too much, however this small bag is perfect to throw some small items in and go. I do wish it had some compartments though for better organization.

So far so good, let’s see how it holds at speed. Installation was a little tricky on my SpeedMaster, but got it on . Will update once I ride it.

Nice bag and fits my softail perfect.Pretty durable.All I know is its much cheaper than the Harley brand and quality seems about the same .

I 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!

This is a great bag for the price. If you’re looking for saddle bag capacity, order saddle bags. If you need a place for a few smaller items, this is great. I have my emergency tools in here and there’s plenty of room.

My 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.

Bought this for my 2005 FATBOY for when I take off the saddlebags & want to run a streamlined look. Mounting fairly straightforward & it will work with a read axle cover with a little effort.
