2014 heritage bag stiffeners?
What it says. Top and inner. Wondering if the HD ones are the only/best? I toyed with making something but I’m not feeling any enthusiasm for that lol. I just want to ride!
Any suggestions?
EDIT I have searched and there are several outfits that make stuff- from internet AND HDforums- I'm not getting any clear sense of good, better best, usually I'm pretty good at sussing this stuff out. My leather is in great shape but the bag and lids are deformed...Apparently HD only makes a lid support- MY BAG IS DEFORMED!

I have "Boss bags" and they are the best aftermarket leather bags Ive owned out of 3, Ive had leather Works (very good), Osprey (good for the price) and since 2007 the "Boss Bags" Springer Style". I personally think Boss bags "Phantom Brackets" are the best and closest quick detach bracket.

Being that I like to tinker and I'm a cheap SOB, I made my own. I bought a sheet of 1/8" abs on line, cut a cardboard template and started playing. Made a huge difference in the appearance of the bags and made them much more functional. I did not do the lids because I replaced the stock pillion (11" wide) with HD wide one (14" wide). The lid stiffeners would reduce access to the bags. Leaving the lids pliable allows full access. And if ya stuff enough junk in the bags, the lids don't sag.
