I know this likely has been debated, I did do a search and read some reviews, but am wondering if anyone has experience with the Harley leather 3 pocket fairing bag and the TBags 3 pocket windshield bag. I have heard mixed reviews regarding the TBag that due to it being PVC and not leather that it is prone to crack and tear. I also read somewhere that TBags was looking into using a new material, but I cannot find anything that shows that the material was truly upgraded. Also a few posts stated that the TBags warp in high temps, but others said the Harley leather bags do the same and that the velcro stops working within a short matter of time. Anyways, if anyone has extensive use with either or both I'd like to hear your recommendations before I buy.

Thanks

 

Love my t-bag 3-pouch...going on second year w/no warping, or cracking.

 

Me too. Around 25k on mine. No trouble at all. And if I had to buy a new one every year, I'd do it anyway. Well, maybe not every year, but it's a great bag. Leather would be nice, but leather doesn't hold its shape like this. My two-pocket HD bag looked like it'd been through hell after one summer. Granted, it got soaked through and through over and over that summer... But the T-Bag doesn't care about rain.

 

Ditto......

 

I have the Harley three pocket fairing pouch and have considered switching to the T-Bag. The center pocket on the Harley pouch is large enough for sunglasses, but the other two aren't. Mine is the one Harley was selling back in 2009 and I'm not sure if they have changed since then. I do not like the metal clips that slide over the top of the inner fairing on mine. I know that if I ever decide to remove it completely, there will likely be some pretty good marks on the top of the inner fairing. The velcro still works fine after 2 years and other than the size of the two outer pouches and the metal clips that connect it to the fairing, I like it fine.

 

I have the H-D three pouch on my Electra Glide. It works great and is very useful, but, it scratches the crap out of the inside of the windshield.

 

I have had the T-Bags for less than a year,so far no issues.
The material is very stiff and end pockets are kinda small but looks good on the fairing.
Garage door opener goes in the center pocket and the Ipod goes in the right side pocket.

 

I have the Harley 3 pocket and I'm very pleased with it. It's been on since 08. No warping or Velcro not working.

I usually have my EZ Pass in the left pouch, my Droid X in the middle and gum or whatever in the right one. Works fine for me and I'd get it all over again.

 

I use the T-Bag. The wiff hates the fact it doesn't say "Harley" on it, but hey...the contour of the bags fits nicely with the inner fairing and it is less than half the cost of Harleys'.

 

I've had the T-Bags for over a month now and love it. Garage door opener in the left pocket and put my wallet in the middle with room to spare and have my clear night glasses in the right. It look like it just belongs on the bike to me.
