Default touring bags

Take a look at Calvary bags. I really like the look and have heard nothing but good things about them. I am considering them myself. Old style retro looking.

Those bags look to be of better quality than the ones I got and the cut outs are round. Well if you guys get them let us know I might be right behind you!

Called and talked to Eastern Performance. Theyre exactly like the CVO bags and he had no issues with them. Thicker than the fairing factory bags and claims they fit better than the cvo bags.

Ordered! Just need to get a painter lined up.

Umm Did you think the salesman was going to tell you they were crap? But good luck with them. I hope it all works out for you.

The guys at eastern performance have been good to me. Worst case i dont like them and ship them back. Ill post pics when I get them.

On that note anyone have the part numbers for the lid hardware? Thinking about mounting my old bags on my wifes bike.

Holy @(#* Maybe she can keep the bags she has. Nearly 500 for just the hardware. Guess I'm keeping my own lids!

The bag are only the lower part. Most places you have to buy new lids and hardware. But all you do is take off the hardware on your bags and sell them with out it. A person that is intrested is used bags is someone that crushed theres and will have harware. Bad Dad sells OEm harley lids for 115 each

I knew it was only the lower part and was fully prepared to use my lid/hardware on the new lower. Until I thought of mounting mine on hers.

Just didn't expect what little hardware there was to cost 500 bucks.
