Handmade in the USA, the NCL01 Left Side Solo Bag is designed to respect the classic British lines of the Norton Commando. It adds essential storage without looking oversized or out of place on a vintage machine. The bag mounts securely to the seat grab rail and shock, ensuring it stays tight to the frame without sagging.
We build this bag using heavy 8oz Veg-Tan Cowhide (approx. 3mm thick) with zero plastic parts. It features a rigid Double-Layered Back Panel to maintain its shape for years to come. The back panel also includes a Hidden Pocket for your registration or insurance card, keeping your paperwork safe and accessible.

MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS:
MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS: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.
