Last weekend, I saw an 03 Aniv Heritage (Slvr/Blk) with matching hard bags (came off an 03 Bagger). It looked sweet !! He had the guard rails, the whole trip. It was pretty f'in cool.
I sent my stock bags to David @ Osprey Saddlebag Co few yrs ago. He used the orig bags as a pattern and made me a set the exact shape & size (using the stock ABS backing). He used heavier leather (yes real leather) and reinforced the sides and the lids. I wanted just plain. No chrome studs or hoo ha. Plain. They have really held up. I clean em & cond them with Lexall like once a yr, and just wipe em off when I have them off to wash the bike.
I want to say he charged me 400 & change. Quality sh__!!!!!

I have Got saggy bags.com on mine too and they are great for the money and I didn't have to mail them off. Bought the kit when my bike was new because I knew I didn't want saggy bags. Think the trick is not wait too long before installing the kit.

I used the gotsaggy bag kit on my 02 heritage and the bags look BRAND NEW ! Yeah I could have made my own kit and did it my self for cheaper, but then again any excuse to go to the harley shop for a $100 cup of coffee, eh ?

We got my girlfriend a used Heritage recently. One of the first purchases we made for it was the Got Saggy Bags kit. Was a snap to install. Took mere minutes and the results were well worth it. They look great!

I am glad to read the posts on here about saggy bags. On my 05 heritage, the bags are way saggy and that's the only poor looking spot on the bike. I have been wanting new bags for over a year now but cannot afford $600-$800 for bags. Going to check out these websites and see. Thanks guys!!!
