Evo160K Report post Posted June 7, 2016 What is the best type and quality of leather for motorcycle saddlebags, the straps in particular. The original set of Harley-Davidson leather bags and straps lasted over 20 years (250+ thousand miles), but the replacement set of straps that were ordered from a leather shop haven't lasted two years........they're dry and cracked. The straps are pulled taunt from time to time, and the leather is cleaned and treated frequently with H-D products, same as always. Thank you very much for your input.
