I use the HD Box style

MSRP is now $80.
It isn't as sleek looking as the others and it does scratch the windshield. But it will hold larger items than the 2 or 3 pouch organizers. I like it.

I agree. Bought mine for $40 about four years ago used from a forum member and it works well. Velcro lid makes access easy when riding.

Have the two bag HD pouch on my FLHX. Quality is good, fitment is good, use it for my ciggs., lighter, and cell phone. Can't fit an Oakley, or RayBan case in them though.
Afraid it's going to scratch the crap out of the WS, which I see from the other posts, it's going to.

I've had mine just over 2 yrs. After 6 mos it started to crack at the folds of the flaps across the edge piping or whatever you call it. They use some sort of vinyl or plastic to edge the flaps with. I called them and they were aware of the problem and they said it had been corrected (different material, still synthetic) They swapped mine out no problem. That was 1 1/2 yrs ago and no cracking so far. That may have been corrected. I also have heard they tend to scuff the inner farring where they sit. I used the fuzzy part of some velcro to pad that area, and no scuffing. Other than that I don't know of any other problems. I don't understand what mounting problems one poster in this thread said he had. He said he had to squash them down because he had a tweeter pod. I have a tweeter pod and no squashing was required, the pouch is securely mounted, and sits just like it was meant to.

PS It looks like your running about a 4" sheild, like I am. It's the only pouch that sits behind a 4" sheild without sticking up past the sheild.

I don't know what to tell you, you can see by the pics, I do have a tweeter pod, (installed several mos before pouch) and I didn't need to squash them down to fit properly, and stay securely in place for 2 yrs now. I did see the pics you posted, and you did push them down destorting the side bags. Are you trying to bottom out the cutouts to where the windshield screws are? The backing piece doesn't have to bottom out to stay in place. I only said I didn't understand your particular mounting problem. Mine is mounted and stays in place without squashing. There may be something with your bike or pouch I don't understand. Mine is an '09 Ultra, I got the first bags (one that cracked) March of '09 so not quite 2 yrs ago Traded them out for the set I'm running now 6 mos later. Wasn't in any way trying to bash you or what you posted, I just didn't understand why you needed to mash yours down to make fit.
