Default 3 pocket windshield bag

So I have an hd 3 pocket windshield bag that I really like. Problem I have is the crap/water that gets in between the bag and the windshield. I scratched up my windshield trying to clean the windshield behind the bag. Anyone else have this type of bag and what do you do to prevent this or clean/dry the windshield behind the bag?

I remove the windshield to clean when it's back home in the garage. Only takes a minute. I keep it super clean in there, now, I too have messed one up out on the road stuffing a rag down there and smearing grit all over the damn screen.

thanks man, I guess I will have to start doing that. Glad I'm not the only one who did that. Couldn't tell until the next day, and now I look at the scratches every day.

Yeah it was after riding through a nasty thunder storm in Missouri. The sun came out, and it was all sweaty and nasty looking down between there, and I couldn't wait. Scuffed the **** out of it.

This is why i don't run a windshield bag. I thought about some windshield type tint on there so as not to scratch it.

While a ws bag is handy, it does scratch up the wind screen. I use crash bar bags instead.

The very shitty Kury bag I had definitely did. The latest version of the Harley bag does not ride against it. I have been through quite a few shields for various reasons, but the 2 that I run now are in good shape! No scratches, I just keep it clean. That Klockwerks screen in my sig pic has about 10k on it, now.

I like the HD 3 pocket bag, it never pops open at triple digit speeds, I keep stuff handy in there.

With the Kury bag, I had my registration and insurance in a ziplock in the center pocket, flying over a bridge over the Mississippi river when it came flying out of the pocket. That was fun.

Maybe some clear 3M paint protector on the inside windscreen? Applied, before, you scratch the snot out of it.

I have the Kuryakyn 3 pocket dash bag, and it is indeed a piece of ****. Like you mentioned, magnets are weak and the bag will pop open and any light weight stuff will fly out. Only reason I ordered it from JP is because my HD Dealer were out of them. HD 3 pocket has much better magnets. Gonna pick up an HD one before my Montana trip and throw the Kury piece of **** in the trash where it belongs.
