Default Hogcovers clear covers for bag lids
Saw an ad for these in American iron... my wife does hit the lids from time to time, these clear covers don't hide scuffs much, just wish I would have had them sooner, so at least no more scuffs, we have rode twice since i put them on & she has yet not noticed them, neat, so while ez to install & uninstall I think I'll just leave them on even when she is not with me, the site is www.hogcovers.com. FYI

Nice, but pretty easy to steal...I went with Ride-Tek saddlebag covers which really work well, but they also go good w/black bike.

Not really that ez to steal as one needs to work the inside back to remove, besides that your unlock bags are easier to steal than these covers.

locked bags are just as easy to steal. All it takes is something to pry between the bag and fender like a screwdriver, small pry bar ect.
