Default SaddleBag Shapers VS Got Saggy Bags

Is Got Saggy Bags $60 better than the SaddleBag Shapers? I can get SaddleBag Shapers for $56.45 shipped and Got Saggy Bags $119.00 plus shipping!

I don't know about SaddleBag Shapers...but I do know gotsaggybags.com work well.

here are some before / after pics. I've posted these pics several times because the topic appears regularly.
Anyway, gotsaggybags cost me approx. 100$ Cdn. The 'install' was not v. difficult or time consuming. You will notice that the bags look darker and glossier..because I also cleaned them ...they look like new bags.
Worked for me...I recomment it....here are the pics

Default LeatherLid

I used LeatherLid inserts. Very happy with them. $100 and they do the best job on the lid part. www.leatherlidinserts.com

I just got my Heritage in July and the left bag is perfect the right one has a sag in the rear corner so i figured on fixing now while they are still in good shape.

You are wise to do it now. ...it will make your job much easier.

I understand that some people let the bags sag...distort...gives that 'old school' look.
I've seen it...I don't like it. Maybe it should be an option. ...to order the bags with or without inserts.
