My heritage bags are ugly, saggy and rotten. Was leafing through my Kuryaken catalog and saw the Edge Bag and mount brackets. Does anybody have the bags that look like the Heritage studded bags? Lets see them and what do you think.

 

If the leather is still decent, there are several kinds of supports that stiffen up the bags. "Got Saggy Bags" is one maker that comes to mind.

 

I'm not directly answering your question.

There are lots of stock bags on eBay that I would consider as well.

+1 on the reconditioning of your bags. Unless they have holes, most leather saddlebags can be re-conditioned and re-dyed at home and will look really good. And it is cheap too. The stock saddlebags sag, but there are internal plastic supports that are available that make them hold the correct shape and are lots cheaper than new bags.

Food for thought.

 

We have the plain bags from edge on the wife's fatboy

Love the e z brackets

They go on or come off in 3 secs, and lock on with the key

The ends Velcro dwn in addition to the buckles so it keeps things down and the rain out even at speed

 

The left bag has a row of screws on the trailing edge due to a laydown (before me) They both are missing some studs. I know i can replace the studs and spend $ on a anti-sag kit, but I dont think it's worth the effort since I am still staring at the repaired bags ugliness. Looking for replacements at this point. I already have the quick release brackets but they are worn out, so i know i want to go that route too.

 

Yeah, 20 years of use can play hell on bags. Have you looked at Leather Pro's, Boss Bags or Iron Bags. Leather Pros is a site sponsor by the way, and come with all the mounting hardware, ready to slap on. The good stuff isn't cheap, but thats what makes it the good stuff. These guys are who I would consider if I wanted new bags.
