While the idea of light-weight is good for me, what are you going to do with a FL that most people lower 1" than try to corner. I fully appreciate your efforts in bringing a new and cheaper (cost wise not quality) product to the market, handling concerns should be addressed. Choppers are nice to look at, however, not my choice to go riding (I mean RIDING) with. Making a bagger that hampers cornering is counterproductive and there are already to many bikes that are parking lot queens. I am not dising your product, just 35 years of riding experience. If you make them aerodynamic, carbon fiber or light weight as well as functional bag, count me in. Vacuum bagging is good especially with unidirectional glass & a good coring. Don’t need to make them thick for strength. I am a player for my new FL I am building, one not made for the parking lot. An aerodynamic detachble front fairing (cuts the air like a Hayabusa) would not be a bad product either. Good choice in picking American Bagger for advertizing in, nice people & good magazine! Good luck with your endevors. motorcyclemetal.com, motorcyclemetal.com see ya @ Sturgis, Main Street

Just to let you all know that we here at Top Shop are excited to bring a new custom bag out for your baggers! We are soon tobe featured in American Bagger for an installationguide and a press release.
Holy freakin wow, how cool is that.If you would like to check out our bags you can go to www.topshopheadliners.com and go to the Harley Bagger section and take a peek at them.
These bags fit the 93 to Present Harley Baggers and are vacumm injected not hand laid, with this process we make the bags lighter and stronger that most bags that are out there. What is vacumm injection, well it is where you put the fiberglass in the design and lay a silicon mat down with little ports for the high grade resins to flow through. Then when you apply vacumm pressureto the bag it forces the resin into the fiberglass soaking every figer in resin so you don't have pin hole in the parts.
We also offer a carpeted inside and painted bags as well.
I hope to here from the Harley Community!!
Thanks To Everyone,
Justin B

Handeling, Ya. Newest shocks for a FL. below in thumbnail.
I love new products & I know what your investment is in new tooling. Hope success for you. I use to own Signature Marine, a company that manufactured ocean racers in the late 70’s-early 80’s so I know a little something about glass. Was the first to make carbon fiber and unidirectional bodies for sport 2000 Lola’s in 1979. Into carbon fiber wheels now.

RE: New Fiberglass Bags!
Justin, I got a question for you. Have you thought about turning out these bags already painted in Harley colors? I own a black pearl rk custom, and would not hesitate buying these bags, but going through the hassle of having them painted is not something I really care to do. Just a thought. Since, you seem to paint them 'In House', would seem like a better way to go. You could still charge a bit more, and have a bag ready to mount, with hardware bought by the customer.
