Bags for a K4

Anyone found some nice bags that fit these old wide seats ? Removable would work best for me. (But not so easy that they walk off when I go in a store)
Any leads appreciated, thanks.

I don't know if you are wanting lockable hard bags, but I use a nice set of leather bags. They just slide under the seat, and can not be taken off unless you have the key, for the seat. If I want to take them in to a place with me. It only takes a few seconds, and they are slung over my shoulder (Cowboy style).

I bought a set from Willie & Max:

They're quite nice, they have a system which slings beneath the seat, but with zip-off connections which allow them to somewhat easily be removed. I also used metal brackets to keep them away from my wheel. I also used web straps, slung over the top of my seat, to lift my bags up. The web straps were made by my wife, and they are not necessary, but they really helped keep the system neat, and orderly.

The quality of Willie & Max is excellent. They are not leather, but some sort of plastic, which is very much like thick leather. They are easy to clean, easy to use, and durable. I would buy them again, if I needed a soft set. Cheers!
