Ahh, so you leave the tape on! Glad I didn't take it off already. I have seen some guys on here that don't have it on there. Wonder what they do when they put the pillion back on?

That sucks!! That bag is so clean and has a real nice custom look to it! All of the other I have looked at have the straps with the buckles on the front and are very plain... I take it no one else does bags like this do they? I was reading on another thread about a guy getting a SOKUSTOM bag and had the guy integrate a license plate bracket into it. Looked great too. Too bad about them not being available anymore.

I guess he screwed a lot of people on here out of their $$$$$, too bad cause they are sweet bags. I was lucky enough to get mine before all that went down.

can you tell me what the part numbers of the new cables are? I like those bars but would not know which cables to get.

Scooter - I'm sorry, I don't know the part numbers. However I do know that I used the Harley brand cables as they were about 1/2 the price of the nicer onces. The HD ones are a solid black and honestly...don't look much, if any different than the others. I was originally going to use the more expensive ones but my buddy at in the HD service area talked me into the HD ones and he was right. Not worth the extra expense.

Captain Morgan, Try Garage Leathers. I bought a solo bag with a military type belt latch. Very nice bag, quality could not be better. They have several styles.
