Default Mororized bagger lids on tourers...

I've seen some very cool motorized (even remote controlled) lids on the bags of some tourers. Does any of you guys know who makes those systems?

Regards,

Mimo.

Great idea...since mine are SO hard to open and close.
(can hear it now...)"My battery went dead and I am unable to open my saddlebags. ANyone have this problem? I had to borrow sunscreen from the guy on a mo-ped. Nice guy actually."
But a nice gadget...

I see somebody peddling those things at nearly every rally. The trouble with them is that you loose about 1/3 of your bag space.

There was a guy in here with an award-winning black Road King, pretty boulevard style, his bags opened side-ways (outwards)... equally, with a remote, can't remember his nick...

Sounds like something else to add to the "most useless things to spend $$ on" thread....

The guy you are trying to think of is Jeff S. His black RK is in the BagDaddy or FatDaddy or somesuch add's in the mags. The bike is parked on a bridge at a park in Dallas somewhere.
