Why does your intro have to be funny AND catchy. Whenever I'm at work thinking about my bike I end up thinking about the parts I'm going to install, which invariably leads to thinking about some of your install videos. Next thing I know I'm sitting there "riding dad youtube channel, it's the RIDING DAD KZread... GOD DAMMIT"! Then I can't get it out of my head lol.

😂😂😂that was the goal man!!! I’m proud of many things in my life but that intro is definitely on the top 5!!!!

I've been running Leather Pros bags (leather) for about a year and a half now and love them. I've never had any water intrusion although I'm sure Leather pros doesn't advertise them as water proof; other than a monsoon I can't image the inside getting wet. Since I'm pretty much a fair weather rider in my old age I've never worried about it. The only thing about them I want or need to change is to black out the hardware.

Lol. I’m waiting to get some more miles before I do a review on it but I have a black carbon fiber with blue stitching Saddlemen explorer seat for two up riding. After I break that in and I like it and my tail of the dragon trip this year is passed, I’ll probably send my SDC pro in to get a recover and probably the same thing. Too much blue I think would look cheesy so I’ll probably just do the stitching. I don’t know if you saw on Instagram or if I even posted but I did my dash in that same blue color now also. So I don’t want it to be too much

I run locking leather bags by leather pro's on my 08 fatboy and i think you have to relocate the stock turn signals back with a kit i think so don't quote me cause the dealer installed. But leather pro's on their advertising video had someone stand on the bags mounted on the bike. So they carry a lot..

Did I miss the link to the protectant spray for the ballistic nylon? Also do they work for sure with stock exhaust? I unfortunately can’t afford a stage one 2 into 1 yet. Have my signals relocated already. Thanks!

I’m not sure about stock exhaust comparability. I would reach out to leather pros directly for that question. And nope, that was my bad. I didn’t post it. But it’s just the 303 aerospace protectant. I actually haven’t even used it yet. I’ve used scotch guard at the recommendation of a buddy and they’ve been holding up good so far

$750+ in you only get an inside mounting lock that looks like it can be picked with a paperclip??? Don't get me wrong there's no 100% secure saddlebag out there but at least throw in a zipper lock or something additional so my goods are somewhat protected when weekend store hopping....🤣🤣🤣

Zippers can be broken in to with a regular pen in about 1 second. So that won’t matter at all. The inner lock is a man actual key. Much more secure that the majority of saddlebag locks currently on the market

Yeah I get it man. That’s the ultimate decision that led me to the hard bags in the very beginning. But my priorities in my luggage situation have changed which have allowed me to do this now

I'm not trying to be negative here, but I don't know why these are so popular they're fucking HIDEOUS. Should've kept the bags you had IMO

Hey man, it’s all right, different strokes for different folks. No issues with you not liking my current set up or not liking anything else I have. We can all build our bikes to the way that we like them. I personally have always liked the Leather Pros. If I had a big faring upfront I would have kept hard bags or even purchased bigger bags, but I really like the Leather Pros for low profile
