I see advertised all the time in Thunder Press and elsewhere selling a fix to your leather saggy bags. Opinions please before I spend my hard earned money. My lids are starting to sag!

I had mine done by Boss Bags. They put in stiffeners a padlock system and thicker straps.

I can't speak for Saggy Bags but several of my friends with Heritages did the Boss Bag Stiffner fix. I can tell you they are very pleased with results and they also throw in locks.

I put the Saggy bag kit in 3 years ago, they still look brand new. It is worth the $125.

Saggy bags kit does work as advertised, I currently have the kit in my bags, and they still look brand new!! I actually dont have the bags on my bike but they are stored in my garage on their sides and they hold their shape perfectly!! Well worth the money, my father in law is gonna get a set for his heritage too!

Another vote for Boss Bags inserts here... Well worth the bucks... the image below is my 2002 with boss bag inserts..

My bags looked like SunRa73's bags post #7 before Boss Bag inserts

SunRa73... it is time to get those bags fixed...

I was curious about this myself. My bags are bad. Especially the left side. It's completely caved in as one of the support brackets inside the bag is busted in half. I was gonna buy the I Got Saggy Bags kit. But even though the Boss Bags is more $$$, now I'm thinkin' I may go that route. Seems like it's worth the extra few bucks.
