Default Saddlebag lid/lock conversion

Had mine done with Brukus. Pretty similar to the newer HD version.

How do you even remotely consider this as being similar to the HD version? It's not even close dude and I would never put this kind of a rig-a-marrow, jacked up, POS on a bike I owned.

There is no amount of lip stick that can make that pig pretty, which is precisely why Brukus had nothing else to use but a beat up, scratched saddelbag to "sell" it.

If you like it.....oh well.

Your user name and simple post with virtually no review leads me to think that you're a Brukus rep of some sort. You guys should be embarrassed by that turd. I'm embarrassed for you......almost!

It isn't clear to me what comes in the kit, or exactly what it does. I don't see any latches that open the lids when sitting on the saddle, like a '14 or later.

I am hoping someone will come out with a conversion that works just like the newer ones without replacing the stock lids. I don't want to have to color match.
