I have to give props to conley though, I heard he is sending out his 2nd set of bags in exchange from his first ones. There were a few minor things such as zippers facing the wrong way and a few other things. He improved it and is fixing his problem.
I held out on buying them to see what you got Garry, make us proud

Hello Garry
I live in the UK but would like a set of bags so i am going to give you some feed back.
-Any improvements that don't spoil the look of the originals.
-I would just like an exact copy of the originals with a few tweeks.
-The line of the top cover in relation to the fender.
-The line of the bag parallel to the shocker.
-The line of the bottom of the bag should be the same as the original. if it hangs down it makes the bag look as though its not firm and will obsruct some exhaust system.
- Good heat protection to bottom of bags.
-General firmness of the bags give the originals a great look.
-I like the look of the plastic buffer to the sides of the bags but with no logo or Name.
-I like the original 3 point mounting brackets even though they don't look as good with bags removed.
-IMO the best 2 point mount system in the world would not be as strong as the original simple but ugly tube frame.(Not saying your 2 point system is not up to the job and would look better when the bags are not fitted ) its just my thinking.
-Take your time to get the job done as you see fit as you will not be able to please everyone.
I have a black fxdxi 05 Staged.
Regards Mike.

I think any feed back Garry receives will help him a lot, and I'm sure he encourages it. After-all, these bags are for us.

Hello there
I just want to say thanks to Garry for having a go at these dyna t sport bags. The last new tsport i seen new in the uk was 2003. I think there may have been some in early 2004 but i did not see them so for some one to take an interest after all this time its great. I no there is a market for the bags as they can be fitted to dynas in general. Also it will kill the over pricing of tatty old over price originals and people with the original bags can now get top covers and repairs its a win win as they say
Regards Mike.
