Leather Saddlebags for CB500 Cafe Racer?
« on: December 15, 2019, 10:44:07 am »
I'm looking for a nice leather saddle-bag to fit to my CB500 cafe racer (something like this).

Can anyone recommend a leather saddlebag that would fit a CB500 under the seat like that (sort of triangular shape, that'll fit in that nice empty space)?

Any custom leather shop should be able to make that for you.  Maybe  look at BobberCycleShop on etsy, they have something similar for $209.  I like that look, gives me ideas to solve a future issue.
intrigued by the wail...seduced by the scream.

As a leather upholstery shop owner ( corporateleather.net ) i would look @ the bobber cycle bag ( it's a shame they do not color the flesh side of the leather ( inside the bag ) or edge the leather w/ black pigment . Looks like a great price though . IMHO-
