Default 06-08 Heritage Saggy Bags?

I read a post in the search section which indicated HD put reinforcement in the 06 and later Heritage bags which prevent them from sagging.
&nbsp\\;
Anyone know if this is true or not?.&nbsp\\; I was going to put a kit in mine as a preventative but don't want to waste my money if it's not needed.
&nbsp\\;
Any 06-08 owners with saggy bags on their Heritages.

Default RE: 06-08 Heritage Saggy Bags?

i had mine for almost 3 years and&nbsp\\;didn't have any saggy issues. they are reinforced from 06 and up. when mine were off in the summer time&nbsp\\;i would pack them full&nbsp\\;and hang them up to keep the shape. the only problem i had with the bags were the straps flying up in the 80+mph wind. fixed that with velcro.

I will have had my 07 Heritage for 2 years this August.&nbsp\\; I have 15,000 miles on it and the Bags are now starting to sag.&nbsp\\;I will probably buy a saggy bags kit.

Sounds like the HD reinforcement is not much better than the original design.&nbsp\\; Guess I'll be doing the rebuild too.&nbsp\\; Still undecided whether to go saggy bags or boss bags.&nbsp\\; I like the lid insert better on the boss bags kits better and I like the idea of rivets over glue.&nbsp\\; Just have to get past that double cost thingy.&nbsp\\; Thanks to all for the input.

I have an 05 Heritage and before the bags got a chance to sag I installed the saggy bags kit. It worked awesome. My Heritage is 3 years old and has 13,000 miles and look great. I would install them regardless of the condition or year. I have seen newer Heritages sag.

Default RE: 06-08 Heritage Saggy Bags?

I have read alot of posts on heritage bags that become saggy in a short amount of time. I have a 1994 Heritage and bags have never lost their shape. Is it just the luck of the draw?
