Clamshell bags aluminium strip

I can not find any info on where to get the aluminium strips to put on the bags I have.
I have looked on the Harley parts microfiche, any one have a lead?

Those are FXRT bags and the parts are probably obsoleted. You could try try Elvis. Hold onto your wallet. Or find a set of torn up bags with a good strip.

Thanks Owtlaw, I know about Elvis but I refuse to buy anything from him, if he had reasonable prices I'd have bought everything I needed already. I have to deal with international shipping and import tax, so his prices are out of my league.
I was hoping someone on here had an old bag or two that were scuffed up but the lip/strip were good as you can see I that's all I need.
I might try to find a company here that can make reproductions

sell a few bags to make my money back!

Don't know where "here" is, but it may be easier to have someone make the aluminum strips.

Unfortunately those strips are not shown as separate parts, so may never have been available as individual components.

I am in Thailand and you're right it probably is a whole lot easier to have someone make the strips
