Default help me out, I lost my lid!
Hey guys, I was riding and the left side saddle bag lid came off and its destroyed. I cant find a used one anywhere. Ive looked on ebay and out of the 1000 results I can only find one left side lid (for an 88) for sale and the one for sale is junk. My bike is a 1988 electra glide. any ideas?

never really considered that, I have a really nice custom paint on it, would a retro be just new lids and a kit or entire bags?

Those are hard to find...will bring top dollar if he holds out...don't think there is an aftermarket replacement, and I would think long obsolete from Harley...is this the one you are looking at?

This was real common of the bag lids through 1992 ( in 1993 they changed the design ) Finding a replacement will be tough .... When you do I would recommend drilling a hole in the tang that is attached to the top of the saddlebag in the front and after positing it on the bike inserting a small Hitch Pin ... If you do this you won't lose it again! Keep an eye out for "Swap Meets" in your area ... You just might find one there. Good Luck.

I see them on eBay all the time. Check eBay sellers Pinwall and RSI. If you don't see one, email them. I would bet a dollar that RSI will have one.
