I would like to inquire if anyone has bought and used the bags from B-B Reproductions that is advertised in the AMCA Mag? If so, can you please tell me your likes and dislikes of the bags. I would like to know how close they resemble orig, what if any are the differences, and in your opinion are they made to withstand usage and time. I am wanting to put original style saddlebags on a 62 FL restoration. This restoration is a rider not wanting it judged so 100% duplication is not a deal breaker, but I really want to know the quality and how well they mount up to original brackets.
I know NOS bags are still out there and the final decision will be up to me, but does anyone have an opinion on using (actually riding and using in the weather) new plastic bags as these B-B as compared to 50 year old NOS plastic bags. I have quite a few cracked lids and see alot at meets. If I get a set that has been in storage for 50 years, will they crack pretty quick when subjected to weather? I would think newer would hold up longer, experience? opinion? Thanks, all input is really appreciated. Bob#6738
