Default Best Saddlebag Covers...

Hi, been a while and I hope the best people on this forum (Touring Section Guys) are doing well.

Looking at the saddle bags being fiberglass and the tops getting scratched a bit. So I am looking into covers, the leather kind like the Saddlebag Lid Bra Kit from harley 57805-03A.

What do you got and did you have different ones first? What do you like/dislike about them.

Thanks everyone.

I use Lid Covers by Ridetek. I love them. A lot of folks also use the ones from Mustang and like them as well.

Mustang -- No velcro, no straps, no modifications, no problems.

I just put Mustangs on mine today. They fit really tight without any velcro or ties. They seem to be of good quality. I like 'em.

I went with Mustang also for exactly these reasons plus easy off/on when detailing the bike.

Well, after clicking on your link the first thing I saw were the ***** on the blonde and I had to agree with you. But after scrolling down I changed my mind. Hard plastic covers just don't look right to me. I think leather with a soft underside so they won't scratch would look better. Or some time ago a member posted a link to a clear film that could be applied to the top of the bags or even the gas tank or under the seat. Anyone have a link to that stuff?

I like the Mustang & Shorefire. How do they stay on? Have you guys got caught in the rain? No shrinkage?

Another vote for Roadtek. I found them to fit way better than the HD version. I also like the bags you can strap on top of them.
