CUSTOM BUILD: The "London Tan" Touring Suite (US01 Bags + Matching Seat & Backrest)
⚠️ Note on Photos: The large "BAD&G" logo seen across the bag in some photos is a digital watermark to protect our images. It is NOT stamped into the leather. Your bag will come with a clean, unbranded finish (or small makers mark only).
Project Type:
FULL CUSTOM TOURING SUITE
The Concept:
Why stop at saddlebags? This custom build was designed for a rider who wanted a completely unified look for their Harley-Davidson Softail. We didn't just build the bags; we created a seamless cockpit by matching the seat, rider backrest, and integrated backrest bag.
The Material:
"London Tan" Heavy-Duty Steerhide. This is a premium, oil-tanned American leather with a vibrant, rich tone that pops against black paint. It features a smooth grain that will patina into a deeper amber over time.
The Build Components:
- US01 Saddlebags: Our flagship 30L heavy-duty bags, reinforced with PVC panels to hold their shape forever.
- Custom Upholstered Seat: We stripped the customer's stock seat pan and recovered it in the same London Tan hide to match the bags perfectly.
- Integrated Backrest System: A custom driver backrest upholstered to match, featuring a built-in rear storage pouch for small essentials like sunglasses or a phone.
Fitment:
This specific suite was built for a Harley-Davidson Softail, but we can create this "Full Match" package for almost any bike.
Want this look?
We can build a matching set for your bike. You send us your seat, and we send it back recovered along with your new custom bags.

ORDERING & SHIPPING
How long does it take to get my order?
Since every item is handmade in our Richmond, VA shop, we don't just pull boxes off a shelf. Most orders ship within 1-3 business days. Custom orders or elaborate tooling may take longer. You will receive a tracking number the moment your label is created.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes! We ship worldwide. We have sent bags to riders in Europe, Australia, Asia, and beyond. Please note that international customers are responsible for any customs duties or import taxes.
FITMENT & INSTALLATION
Will these bags fit my specific bike?
We make both model-specific and universal bags.
- If you see your bike listed in our menu (e.g., "Dyna Saddlebags"), those are designed to fit your specific fender struts and shocks.
- If you have a custom chopper or a bike we don't list, check out our Universal Collection or Contact Us with a photo of your bike.
Do I need to relocate my turn signals?
For most Dyna and Sportster models, our bags are designed to work without relocating turn signals, as long as you are running the stock setup. However, if you have a side-mount license plate or aftermarket indicators, please check the measurements on the product page.
WARRANTY & CARE
What is your warranty?
We offer a Lifetime Warranty on craftsmanship. If a stitch pops or hardware fails due to a defect, we will fix it. We build these to last a lifetime. (See our Warranty Page for full details).
How do I care for the leather?
We use premium vegetable-tanned leather. Like a good pair of boots, it needs to be conditioned occasionally. We recommend using a high-quality leather balm or oil once every few months, or after getting caught in heavy rain.
