I am pretty sure this has been discussed before but I cannot find it doing a search.

What is the fix for the wrinkled or improperly glued (I don't know what to call it) leather along the sides of the lids of the FLHRS saddle bags? Some bikes look fine but mine does not and if there is a cure, I would like to do it myself before I have to go argue with the dealer about covering it under warranty. I bought the bike used but it is still in warranty. A 2007.

 

Might try calling www.bossbags.com. They did good work on my Heritage bags (installed their kit)and seem pretty knowledgeable. I have called and asked them questions about my RK bags and have gotten good answers.

 

i ve heard you put a damp towel on it then hit it with a heat gun or the old ladies hair dryer and it shrinks it back up tight. I read that here a while back

 

had the same problem with mine after a few months of normal riding conditions rain,sun,cold weather,hot weather ect.they shrunk naturally and are now sitting fine.so i would suggest patience is the cure.
