Default Fix for damaged saddlebags.

So some weeks ago, I forgot to secure my saddlebags properly, and this was the result:

Aaargh!
A can of spray putty, a lot of sanding and a can of bumper black later, plus spraying the other bag to match and this is the result. Now repairable too if I ever get that stupid again:


Even got the badges back where they belong. ADR19.05 only requires one reflector on either side of the bike, so I didn't bother reattaching those.

Bummer about the damage. Nice repair job, though.

Did the case stay closed as it tumbled down the road?

I
It did. It was a 60 km/h zone on a bridge. The case just skidded along the face of the lid and fetched up against the bridge railing.

Hello,

I am pretty much done with all the mods to my 2019 Sport Glide with one exception. On order are PM contrast cut wheels. The rear wheel will be an 18 inch with a 200 x 50 tire. Below is a list of the mods and some pictures:

Memphis Shades Gauntlet Fairing. It required modification of brackets and the 5 ¾ inch headlamp bucket and LED headlight from a 2019 lowrider.

HD street slammer bars, black profile mirrors, defiance hand grips and black hand levers

HD flush mount gas caps

HD black find derby and cam timer cover

HD metal black coil cover

Transmission cover powdered coated a light wrinkle black

HD chrome scripted gear shift cover

HD round extreme air cleaner and caliber cover

Bassani 2 into 1 touring exhaust

Woods 22x cam and lifters and HD 2020 8 lobe pump

Power vision tuner / fuel moto tune

Killer Customs oil cooler cover

Thunderbike black front/rear and swingarm axle covers

HD 2019 low rider speedo and tach relocated to handle bars. Accutronics gauge bracket and Speed-King dual gauge setup with Guerilla wiring

HD blackline console

Ohlin HD 506 mono shock. Raised the rear end 1 ¼ inch, increased cornering clearance and bike feels more nimble

Custom dynamics front and rear turn signals and magic strobe

Top Hand Adventures black sissy bar
Blackmill Performance license plate relocation with Custom Dynamics license plate curved frame. Required fender struts from 2019 Low Rider

looks really great. I was originally doubtful about the instruments but you've made it work really well.

It looks great!
You've really changed the look, it's really no longer a Sport Glide but doesn't look like any other bike either, more like several bikes.

Yeah I was thinking the same - kinda a combo of a Low Rider S and a Sport Glide. Call it a "Low Sport" or a "Sport Glow"! ;-)

My only concern now that the rear signals have been relocated to the fender struts is that you can no longer attach the Sport Glide's hard bags to the bike. :-(

The hard bags were the first thing that came off the bike when I brought it home!

I took my 2020 in the touring direction but I like your low profile look just as much. These things are so customizable.
