G'Day

Been preparing my Street Bob for a summer of long rides, state to state.

I liked the brown saddlebags from the H-D catalogue, but after having seen them, I decided the $770 ask was just ridiculous. I have been looking high and low for a set of throw-over style saddlebags in a nice distressed look, and came across Fox Creek Leather in Virginia, USA, and having spoken to them over the last few weeks, enquiring as to the fit and specifications which would suit my Bike, they offered me quite an unreal price on the Saddlebags and a tool roll as well. So all in all I got a set of gloves too, just for good measure.

So far the customer service has been top notch, and far easier than when I was trying to contact various Leatherwork places back home in Australia.

All in all, I am hoping that the bags turn out as described and shown in the pictures and on various forums.

Too late now, but has anyone dealt with them before?

Here is a link to the bags,

What do you guys think?

Over the years... Lads in my club... get gear from Fox Creek leather all the time (they do a group order every so often to save on postage)... and they've been nothing but pleased with all the gear they buy...!!!

Double post.

Cheers mate, goes a way to making me feel a bit more confident in my purchase! Only a few weeks and I'll be home to check it out and get it on the bike.

Hey mate,

Let me know how you go with them. I'm looking to get some throwovers mself.

Good to get some feedback as they look good.

 

Cheers

No worries mate, Ive got just over three weeks until I can cast my eyes over them.

I'll be sure to write up a review.

Just got a jacket from these guys and its way better than anything else ive seen. I bought a Harley jacket from DH Gate earlier in the year & the Fox Creek is 10 times better. I ordered the fox creek on Thursday & was delivered to Newcastle the next Wednesday. Great company to deal with.

How did you find the fit?

If the bags and everything that I ordered turn out as good as I am expecting, I'll have no hesitation in laying down the readies for one of their jackets.

Which model jacket did you go for mate?

Hey mate,

I got the Vented reflector jacket. The fit is spot on, just had the missus measure me up. Top shelf jackets.

They arrived back home today!

My housekeeper emailed me some pictures today, and they look pretty damned good. I can't post the pics up here, because they are in a word document, but they look awesome.

I cant wait to get home to get them on the bike, I really like the look and tone of the distressed brown leather.

As for the weather, I use a pair of saddlebag liners. So no issue there.

I just recieved a leather jacket from fox creek, the fit was spot on, great service and the leather is so soft you dont know your wearing it. It also comes with life time warranty and the workmanship is tops. 

Hey guys any chance of posting some pics and pricing of the jackets--cheers Grim
