Ebay Saddlebags?
Yesterday my saddle bag fell off on the way to work, it's thrashed.My own fault really, I had been wrenching on my bike and just forgot to tighten it back down.Anyway, when I got home I jumped on Ebay hoping to find a 12 or 13 limited bag someone had taken off to upgrade to a stretched or rushmore style but no such luck.What I did find were all kinds of aftermarket knock offs in pairs ranging from 150$ with no hardware to complete vivid black ABS knock offs in the 250 - 300 range and sweet hand laid fiberglass Cavalry bags from 750$ on up.Anyone have any experience good or bad with any of these Ebay vendors? Also my bike is vivid black so no trouble matching color but it's a limited with that damn grey pinstripe.How terrible would it look if I just skipped the pinstripe on the bags?Maybe spend the money I would on pin-striping on some guard rails so they won't fall off again.

You could always get it pinstriped after. I did that on mine and it turned out great. Cost about $100.
Sorry, but no experience with the aftermarket bags. If you can wait a bit, I'm sure you'll find some take-offs. I know I've seen them on the classifieds on this forum.

I bought the V- twin Mfg CVO style bags. The bottoms only in raw ABS cost me $340 shipped. My Electra has the silver pinstripe too. I'm eliminating it. I have my stock bags with lids black with pin stripe. They have Kuryakyn bag lights on the back, but if you don't like them I can take them off. Pm me and I'll give you a good deal.
New bags
Old bags with lights
Edit: bag lids and bottoms only. No hardware or rubbers.
