I've always been amazed at how many people had good luck with these as is. Mine had more waves than a Thanksgiving Day parade. QC overseas is bound to allow a bad one through now and then.
As said Eastern will do right by you.
I would call and see if you can exchange or return them. Love my EPC CVO bags, and several friends bought them with no issues, minor prep and paint. Hopefully they take care of this for you.
Opened my easternpc v-twin cvo bags for christmas and notice that there are some craters on one surface of the bag. Does this look like an acceptable level of molding imperfections? Would this require much bodywork? Anyone else experience this? I've requested a exchange, so we'll see what they say. Looks like water or condensation was in the molding die.
My V-Twin CVO bags were amazingly perfect. My painter was very surprised
also. He said he had painted dozens of bags from various manufacturers and
these were by far the best he had painted.
I knew Eastern would make it right, they are a great company to deal with.
So a little update. Eastern performance called me back and told me they were looking at a set of the v-twin bags they had there. They indicated that those bags had the same markings in them. Right side only, just like mine.
They asked if i could feel the craters, and to be honest I really couldn't. They said they would more than happy exchange for the ones they had however it looks like I would be in the same boat. They asked if I wanted to check with my painter on what it would take to get the spots out and I agreed.
Me being impatient I went to the garage and broke out some 320 wetordry sandpaper and a sanding block and tried to remove the spots. To my surprise they came out rather easily so they must have not been very deep. I'm content now, however I was expecting almost no prep.
No sure whats going on with the v-twin bags, just wanted to let everyone know my experience. Eastern was more than happy to help me out.
