you know after seeing the load that GB put on his poor machine after Drift In 14 perhaps you should offer him those bags so he can then not have to take that huge goalie bag to pack his extra stuff in......or perhaps this year he will get the Missus to drive down in the P/U and use the bed of the truck for his extra stuff.

You bet I do. I have completely refurbished them, made a light weight set of stiffeners for the inside, cleaned, and dyed them and have them mounted on my quick removal rack system. 4 chrome acorn nuts and the whole rear assembly lifts off, rack, bags, trunk, all at once. Here's a picture of the prototype setup. I've refined it since last Fall, and now the bags look like (almost) new.

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.

They're dirt cheap, cutable, paintable, and they stick with glue better then metal.I have to fix my saddlebags. they're sagging as well. right now my plan is to add an aluminum plate to the fender side of the bags and see what that does. that's where the sagging is the worst. Either it'll work, or it'll help but the problem will just move.
