Has anybody ever used a set of those kits that shape up the leather saddlebags? Are they worth the money or are they more trouble than they're worth? My bags aren't bad yet and I'm trying to prolong the inevitable.

Or better yet. Does anybody have a tracing of the panels???

 

Yea, I put a set of Papa Bags in mine. They work great end an easy install.

 

GotSaggyBags-- about $115 and easy install.
Very pleased.

 

I have the "got saggy bags" system, and like it very much.

 

I have put in a couple sets over the years. The idea is to do it before the bags start deforming and shrinking. It keeps them nice for a long time.

 

Yes, I installed them shortly after I got my bike. And yes, they are worth the money. I went with the Saggybags brand. They install pretty easy, but the stiffener for the top is a bit if a pita. They bags still good and straight..

 

Yeah I hear that. But I bought the bike used and and while the bags are in pretty good shape the tops are getting a little bit lazy.

 

I like em natural if that means they are a bit saggy that's fine

 

I have the HD system and it's does the job just fine.

Are we still talking about saddlebags?

 

All they are is 5 bucks worth of plastic sold for over a hundred. Find some hard plastic, anything, at the big box stores. Cut them out. Glue them in. Done. Take the 100 bucks you saved and go out for a nice dinner.
