The second step is to avoid motorcycle dealerships to buy saddlebags as they charge top prices for the bags and often do not provide real leather. Internet is a more suitable way to shop for the motorcycle accessories as you are under no buying pressure plus you have a large variety available. Type in the kind of leather bags you are looking for in Google, yahoo, or e bay search box. Be specific for example if you are looking for Harley Davidson softail saddlebags type in the whole phrase not just saddlebags or leather saddlebags. Please avoid misspelling as misspelled search terms would get you a very different result than the desired results.
Make sure the saddlebags match the other leather or non leather accessories on your motorcycle. The shape and size of the saddlebags should compliment the motorcycle and vice versa. Most motorcycle riders try to match the color of seat with the color of the saddlebags in order to improve the general look of their motorcycle.
The fourth step is to match the leather tanage(color) with the seat and other leather accessories on the bike.

Try to buy bags that are lockable, have quick release buckles and most importantly offer some kind of guarantee. Try buying saddlebags directly from the manufacturers rather than an internet seller as the manufacturers respect their promises due to their capability and skills in the field. Manufacturers also provide better after sale service due to their experience in the field. Make sure that you buy saddlebags mounting hardware after you have bought the bags and prior to their installation on the motorcycle.
