- February 12, 2015, 10:38:26 AMI had a set of factory bags on my Triumph T-bird. They were "contoured" to match the fender line. They looked great but were as worthless as a turd on a punch bowel. I could not get a six pack in the bag without putting the cans in one by one. Who ever heard of saddle bags that won't hold a six pack. I can get a 12 pack in each of the bags on my '99er.

Have you considered leather dye to change the color of your bags?

- February 11, 2015, 22:46:50 PMGetting my ass tanned sounds kind of kinky.... that being said tose bags while highly functional are not worth the effort. I have the original Drifter bags but I don't think they can die them back from black. I've contacted Singh and found a pic her of DC's bike. They are exactly what I want without the fringe. Also watching a set of Indian bags but not sure about fitting them. I do like hard bags though.

- February 11, 2015, 20:24:44 PMTan is hard to come by, it seems.
On the hard vs leather, why not have both? I've been investigating some leather-covered hard bags, trying to find one that will look good on the bike. I'm considering buying damaged, and recovering them with tan.....

- February 11, 2015, 20:01:00 PMNot sure which topic to cover. Is it the ugly ass, black bags, hard bags, fussy paint, or painting your bike, or plastidip? If it was me, I'd buy bags to match the seat.

- February 11, 2015, 19:29:44 PMHi, I recently bought a tan Corbin 2 up, problem is my ugly ass but functional black bags. I'm going to change them and would like input/recommendations from members. I have a 99 Gooseberry. I have been thinking about maybe going with hard bags, but not real fussy on the idea of getting them painted. Have been thinking about painting the bike, but seems silly since gooseberry was only available on the 99, may even plastidip so that I still have the original gooseberry.
