Dedicated Side Bag for Fat Bob, Street Bob, Fat Boy & Breakout
The Bobster Large serves as an expanded continuation of our classic series, specifically engineered for the Harley-Davidson Softail platform. While maintaining the sleek profile of its predecessor, this enlarged model offers increased capacity for longer rides. It is designed to fit perfectly on the fender struts of key Softail models, including the Fat Bob, Street Bob, Low Rider S, as well as wide-tire models like the Fat Boy (2018+) and Breakout. This versatility makes it an essential upgrade for riders looking to combine practical luggage with custom style.
Rigid Aluminum Construction and Weather-Resistant Leather
Unlike standard soft bags that tend to sag or deform over time, this saddlebag features a rear wall reinforced with a solid aluminum plate. This ensures a "rigid" mount that stays stable even at highway speeds.
-
Triple-Layer Flap: The main flap is crafted from three layers of genuine cowhide. This heavy-duty construction is far superior to plastic-reinforced alternatives, offering exceptional resistance to moisture and high temperatures.
-
Durability: The combination of an aluminum back and multi-layer leather guarantees the bag retains its shape for years.
Functional Features: Magnetic Locking and Denim Liner
We have integrated modern functionality into a vintage design. The closure system utilizes a hidden magnetic buckle, ensuring the bag looks clean and unobtrusive while providing secure, easy access. Additionally, each saddlebag includes a versatile 2-in-1 denim backpack/bag. This accessory serves as a protective inner liner for your gear while riding and can be removed to function as a stylish, lightweight portable pack once you reach your destination.

- Fat Boy (2018+), Breakout (requires 23.5 cm / ~9.25" bolt spacing).
2. How do I measure my motorcycle for fitment?
You need to measure the distance between the two mounting bolts on your rear fender strut.
- If the distance is 18 cm (approx. 7.1"), this bag will fit.
- If the distance is 23.5 cm (approx. 9.25"), this bag will also fit. The bag comes pre-drilled for both configurations, so no modification is needed.

Yes, the kit is complete. You will receive:
- Short screws: For standard mounting (without a sissy bar).
- Longer screws: For mounting with a detachable sissy bar/backrest.
- Washers and spacers: To ensure proper clearance from the fender.
4. Is this a rigid bag or a soft bag?
This is a rigid mount saddlebag. It features a reinforced aluminum rear plate and a triple-layer leather flap. This construction prevents the "sagging" common in standard leather bags and ensures it maintains its shape for years.
5. What material is the saddlebag made of?
It is crafted from premium, heavy-duty cowhide leather. Key structural elements include:
- Triple-layer leather flap for weather resistance.
- Aluminum-reinforced back wall for structural rigidity.
6. How does the closure system work?
The bag utilizes a hidden magnetic buckle. This system is secure, maintains a clean vintage look without visible clasps, and is easy to operate even while wearing motorcycle gloves.

The bag offers a 14-liter capacity (approx. 3.7 Gallons). Dimensions:
- Height: 12.6" (32 cm)
- Width: 12.6" (32 cm)
- Depth: 6.3" (16 cm)
8. Is an inner liner or bag included?
Yes. Each saddlebag comes with a removable denim backpack/liner. It protects your items inside the saddlebag and functions as a stylish, lightweight portable pack when you are off the bike.
9. Will the leather flap deform in rain or heat?
No. Unlike cheaper bags that use plastic reinforcements which can warp, our flap is made of triple-layer cowhide. This natural but reinforced construction is highly resistant to moisture and temperature fluctuations.
10. Can I install this bag with a detachable Sissy Bar?
Yes. The mounting kit includes longer screws and spacers specifically designed to accommodate detachable sissy bars and backrests alongside the bag.
