Bad & G Saddlebag conversion
Hi Guys,
My first post here on the Dyna forum, i`m really enjoying the heck out of my first Dyna, after having had a Road King and Street Glide previously.
Dont know what it is but this bike has way more appeal to me that either of my previous tourers did.
I`ve managed to snap up a set of Bad & G saddlebags used here in Oz, they are the soft version of these bags and i thought they needed some more strength.
I`ve made hard inserts for them out of Di-Bond, this had really helped them keep their shape. The inner inserts are tight fitting and hold strong without any adhesion.
On the flaps i have double sided taped some di-bond on there, this has really stopped them moving around at speed.
Have lots of mods planned for this bike, at least i have the bags sorted now and couldn`t be happier with them.

Cheers Guys,
Yeah it was a pretty simple upgrade to make these bags rigid.
I basically made up a template from cardboard and cut the di-bond on our bandsaw.
I have a CNC router but it was just quicker to cut the inserts free hand on the bandsaw.
