I think Harley should have just went ahead and made those Heratige bags solid.

 

Well played sir

 

Yep, I did the PaPa bag supports too to prevent the bags from sagging later on...I like 'em.

 

I got the gotsaggybags set up ... got the lock system on one side. works great. no complaints

 

I have another model (won't mention any names) needless to say after fighting with one side for a few hours, skinned knuckles and a few punches thrown trying to get the GD inserts installed I was wishing I had gone the papabag route. I was coin flipping between the two and chose tails instead of heads.

 

It's the only thing I've always hated about an otherwise beautiful bike.

 

+1 for papa bags. I bought a set for my slightly saggy 05 this year and they really made a big difference. My dad bought a 00 a few months ago and his bags were terrible! Installed papa bags, wet them down inside and stuffed them with newspaper. Let them dry for a couple days and voila! Good as new. I had my doubts about those old, very saggy 00 bags, but I gotta say, they look good.

 

My '02 looked like I"d been storing concrete blocks on the bags they'd sagged so bad.

I tried some cheapo system off ebay that ended up with cut hands, bruised knuckles, and lots of cussing!

I looked at other systems and most seemed to be the same, plastic inserts that had to be forced in, then glue other plastic pieces onto the inside of the lid.

Then I ran across papabags. It actually took longer to put the brackets together than it did to install them in my saddlebags!




In my opinion the BEST saddlebag support system out there.

+1. It'd be cool if the Road King Classic type bags had studs and conchos.
