Our Harley Sportster saddlebags are built by hand in our small American leather shop using full-grain USA leather, heavy-duty hardware, and construction methods designed to outlast the bike. If you ride a Sportster, you care about clean lines, compact proportions, and real performance — and your saddlebags should match that. Every BAD&G saddlebag is engineered for a secure mount, a tight profile, and a classic look that belongs on a Sportster.
These bags are the result of real riding, real testing, and real craftsmanship. No mass production. No vinyl. No shortcuts. Just premium American-made leather bags crafted one at a time for riders who actually ride.
