+1 On the T-Bags. Works great for me as well.

 

That is the setup I was looking at. does it block much of your vision or is it too low to be a bother?

 

I too have the Tbag, as you see from the photo above, it is contoured so fits nicely, the 2 outer pockets are a funny shape, but I get use from them for smaller items.

the downsides are: the bottom of the pouches can scuff up the dash- after the first ride ( and after asking here) I applied loop velcro to the top of the dash to prevent scuffing- I can remove the velcro if I change anything and clean up residue easily.
also the pouches don't "lock in" and could be stolen, but that goes for alot of things on the bike- the thief would need to use a tool to loosen the windscreen first.


the H-D 3 pouch has the 3 big boxy pouches, which sit up above the dash. the assembly does "lock in" although it could be stolen, just takes 3 minutes instead of 2.
the unit can will scuff the backside of the windscreen badly unless some type of bumper is used.

I much prefer the tbag

No it doesn't block your vision at all. Its designed to work with a 4" shield so if you can see over a 4" shield you should have no problems.

 

SciFiGuy, where did you get the harley emblem to cover up the t-bags logo? Looks great.

Thanks jackja25.


After a while the velcro will leave a permanent residue and stain your dash, don't leave it there too long. It will look much worse than scuff marks.

 

I don't have the windshield bags, but I wonder if the clear coating (Dupont maybe?) some riders have been applying to the tops of their saddlebag lids would work to reduce the scuff marks on the inner fairing or windshield.

Ride safe,

Bob.

I bought and used the three pouch from the MoCo and had it on my previous '08 Ultra. The wife and I used it every ride. Kept water away well and had good durability. Down side was the windshield scuffing it caused. Never shimmed it as it was too late by the time I really saw it good.

The T-bag one was/is very apealing to me to use on my FLHX, but had read on another forum, or somewhere from users, that the "hinged flap" wore out, cracked and some broke. T-bag was said to have replaced them for them and there is now a bettere version out there. Old version had a "plastic" hinge on them.
Current owners, can you chime in and give me the scoop on the T-Bag durability?
