Default Heritage Softail Saddlebag Repair

My wife's 2003 Heritage Softail Classic has some cracking on the inner plastic on her right saddlebag. Is there anywhere that repairs/replaces this that anyone knows of?

Not sure on repair, but I would troll eBay and find a sued take off. It will probably cost about the same.

I had the same problem, I went to the local auto parts store (Oreiley's) and they had some heavy duty plastic weld syringe type compound that I squeezed into the cracks. I sanded the area a little first then cleaned the area with alcohol and then applied the syringed mixture. Has held up now perfectly for over a year now. Good luck.

I used JB Weld about two years ago and it held OK. It started to separate a bit recently and I used it again. I was just thinking that there had to be somebody, somewhere that could replace that plastic on the inside. There has to be some sort of market for repair...

Last time I had my off think I had a small line crack on one, never though much yet bout it, but this is good info. Might have to do something if its cracked more.
