T Bags Windshield Pouch - Any good?
I currently have the 2 pouch Harley bags on my EGC. I find them to be to a bit for what I want to use them for and I really like the T-Bags 3 pouch. Any issues with the T-bags? I figured I would ask before I order them.
They are about 1/2 the price I paid for my HD ones. ($99 for HD & $55 for the T-bags)

Been using one (well two) since I first bought the Street Glide. Love the looks and they work well. Center bag easily holds my over RX sunglass's.
And with the addition of a emblem you don't have to look at that T-Bag logo all the time.
The only problem I've had with it is that it may cause a rubbing on the inner fairing.
If you look you can see the spots (4) where it will rub. This can be taken care of by placing some felt or something else on the inner fairing before you put the bag on.
The only other problem I had with these bags were the center flap started to crack on the ends.
This problem has supposed to have been taken care of by the manufactuer. I replace the one in the above photos with a newer one and so far no problems but we'll see what happens after the cooler weather this winter.
Oh almost forgot. "HERE WE GO STEELERS, HERE WE GO!!!!

I have never used the T-Bag models but I just today removed this one that HD sells. I rode with it for about a month and here is why I took it off:
- Outer pouches are so small that you can't even put a pair of sunglasses or gate/garage door opener in. Middle pouch was big enough for cell phone and maybe a pair of glasses if they were not too big.
- Mounting surface fit between windshield and inner fairing. Longer screws and spacers are supplied but the installation left a open gap between inner and outer fairing at the edges.
- The mounting surface (behind the pouches) blocks too much of the road in front of you. Felt so much more comfortable and safer after taking this thing off. It's going on eBay if anyone wants it.

the tbag may probably scuff the top of your inner fairing.
after the first ride- I lined the top of the inner fairing with "loop" velcro ( I had a roll of 2") just trim to match the contours. adhesive comes off easier than trying to fix a scuff.
pockets are small, and the sizes work great for me- no complaints.
your windscreen won't get scratched up like the H-D and the black mounting panel mimics the look of a streetglide deflector- even though I use a 10"

Thanks guys for the feed back, I just order up a set. I will take some precautions with the inner fairing so it doesn't scuff. When I get them I will be selling my HD Part Number: 58928-08 - Two-Pocket Fairing Pouch, If anyone interested, shoot me a PM
