Default Hardbag Lids look like ****

I don't know about yours but mine do...all scratched/scuffed up

so I was thinking about covering them with some leather...maybe glue it on...any ever try this?...I'm not sure how good it would look.

I think it would look okay! First thought was to buy a cheep set of lids off ebay or something to experiment. I would like to see the finished product.

If I could figure out how to post a pic I'd do it. Follow this link to see my covers.

If you want to go with leather, find a leather shop and have them make you a set of covers. You could also do a custom paint job on them, but, now that I think about that, it would force you to paint the rest of the bike...

I have the HD lid covers and they look good IMO. You can pick up a set on Ebay for a good price around $80.
