I wish this would work on other things I have sagging.Go to the store and get a couple of those plastic cutting boards used in the kitchen. They're dirt cheap, cutable, paintable, and they stick with glue better then metal.

Either it'll work, or it'll help but the problem will just move.

- October 07, 2014, 08:12:33 AMI'm pretty much settled on using 3/8" brake line, and some 3/4" flat stock I already have. What ever I do, it will be invisible...

- October 06, 2014, 19:24:29 PMthere's a couple of things I'm not too thrilled about, but on the whole, they look and work well. I'm going to make an internal frame to support them over the winter. Every set I've ever seen sags a bit over time, so mine won't...I'm thinking steel tubing, and rivets.....I have to have a project...

- October 04, 2014, 07:43:43 AMNICE, Troll. They look good.

- October 02, 2014, 11:35:31 AMThey are almost big enough to put my old ones inside...19"x 7" x 12"....and the weather sealing seems like it will be pretty good. The weather here has been crap since I put them on, so I will be waiting a bit before I go grocery shopping with them. I'm sure they are bigger than the H-D hard bags on a 4 speed frame, since I have and still use a set of liners for them, and they are way smaller than the bags....Going on a trip out of town next weekend, so I'll get to see if my 17" laptop will fit....
