I often wonder if anyone has ever experimented with making hardbags a little wider. I would love to be able to get my half helmet in one of my saddlebags when I have the tour pak off.

It is easier to cut and add sections to Fiberglass than doing the samething to ABS.

I had some Fiberglass bags and was going to have them painted (softail project). The painter had a set of brand new bags in ABS (covered in dust). He said he wanted to streach them, but he didn't relise they were ABS before he purshased them. I traded for the ABS.

ABS does not crack or get those faint lines like Fiber Glass. I guess my point is, ABS, non modifed is better than something that has been cut and glued back together. Just my opinion.

 

I searched for 2 months and looked at every set of bags out there. I ended up meeting jason, the owner of fairingfactorymag.com at sturgis. awesome guy, great product and a smokin deal! i got my stretched bags, speaker lids and the matching rear fender from him, he shipped same day and the product was amazing! i heard of them months ago, but they were pretty new to the market. then i saw there ad in American and Urban bagger magazine. when i met the guy at sturgis i was expecting another arrogant bike builder, but he is just a regular dude that loves to ride. he used to be a consumer and is now a manufacturer. i would recomend him any day of the week check out his website and give him a call. he'll answer every question you have and then some and he puts his cell # on his website so your not leaving messages and waiting days for a callback! Not trying to kiss anyones @$$, but in a world of waiting for parts and being disapointed when they arrive, this was a nice change.

i just pulled out my latest issue of american bagger...heres his # 414.687.9387

FYI, Easy fairing sells fairing factory bags, those arent there bags...go right to the manufacturer and jason will give you a better deal!

 

Baggerman...same thing happened to me...i posted somewhere else on the forum about me meeting him in Sturgis but none the less i echo your words...Same situation..The guy was totally cool,true to his word and DELIVERED....Cant wait till i get to Biketoberfest so i can hang with him and buy him dinner

 

Wow . . . really . . . what the fu*k do you think forums like this are for? The OP's question is perfectly appropriate. If you can't provide input or answer the question, then move on and stop with your needless posts. If you are are psyched about google, then use it yourself to find the correct spelling of forum.

 

I'll be interested in knowing your feedback and seeing pix. After reading all the positive feedback, I gave them a call and they were very customer service oriented (not to mention they answered the phone), and also offered a discount for being an HDForum Member.

 

I got Yaffe bags coming. overpriced yes, but hopefully it's worth it.
