Title: Damaged Saddlebag
Post by: yasire on February 22, 2017, 06:40:38 PM: Got my new '16 SG CVO and went for a ride. After about 1/2 hour, I had a car driver point to my saddlebag. I didn't look, but immediately pulled into a local shop and as I went bump-bump off the road, the saddlebag fell off and got scratched up on a couple edges (but the side is fine). What's the best way to get that fixed up? Visit the dealer? A local repair shop? I'm in Boston if it matters.

I had that happen to me when I owned my 05 CVO I took it to a local painter who had a great reputation and they assured me they could match up the paint. They did a great job you would never know it had been damaged. There is a painter in New Jersey who posts in the Vender section that paints CVO bikes I think his name is Joe and maybe the busisss name is Extreme Dimensions.

You might want to take pics of the damage and call / send them to Joe from Xtreme Dimension Custom Motorcycles 856-740-5020 for advice or an estimate. Here is some of his work: Custom Paint (https://www.cvoharley.com/smf/index.php?topic=85822.0)

Yup - and clearly didn't attach it correctly.

You may want to look at offerings from this vendor - Brukus' New Discount Code on ALL Products! (https://www.cvoharley.com/smf/index.php?topic=106143.0) (SaddlebagSecure) or similar style way to secure your saddlebags.

Post by: Designflaw on February 22, 2017, 08:07:16 PM: I would say first spend the $10 on eBay 4 something like monkey nuts I can't remember the actual name. Or go to the dealer and make sure they run your VIN to see if the recall was performed or if it covers your bike as a 16.
Ask for painting I'm sure there's someone up north that can do well however I just read a lot of things about Joe and his experience and matching the paint here on the site

He painted my tour pak from a previous bike to a perfect match for my '17 CVOSG.

Post by: CVODON on February 23, 2017, 11:12:11 PM: You would I hope have insurance? Call and file a claim. Not sure why you haven't already done this. I know of no insurance company that wouldn't buy you a bag. Less your deductible of course. So pay the $250.00 (or whatever) and go about your business.

Post by: luc.who on February 24, 2017, 07:29:31 AM: I would also call Joe @ Xtreme Dimensions and see if he can help you. He has some pics posted on his Facebook page and the CVO forums. Here is the link to his FB page.

Post by: grc on February 24, 2017, 08:57:31 AM: Without knowing exactly how much damage is involved, it's pretty hard to offer meaningful suggestions. If the only damage is some scuffed up clearcoat on the bottom edges (which the OP seems to indicate), I don't think buying a new highly overpriced bag is necessary. And even if the damage extends into the color coats, a spot paint repair by a good shop will cost a fraction of what a new bag will cost, even after discounts. Filing an insurance claim only makes sense if it really becomes necessary to buy a new bag.

Let's see a photo of the actual damage.

Post by: ZVO on February 27, 2017, 10:27:02 PM: I would say get some Bagger bolts and ride with scratches, if it just the edge and the sides are fine eff it. Get a good coat of way back on there and away you go

Post by: sparksm22 on June 01, 2018, 05:44:11 PM: I know this is an old post, but I recently purchased a used 2016 CVO Streetglide and the entire bike was painted by " Gunslinger" from the fenders to the bags. All had Gunslinger stickers on every part. Just for future reference.
Title: Re: Damaged Saddlebag
Post by: CVODON on June 03, 2018, 06:11:37 PM: No Gunslinger paint company stickers on mine anywhere.

Post by: fos41 on June 19, 2018, 10:11:21 AM: Gunslinger does not do the publics painting any longer only for Harley Corp. they told me when asking to have a tour pack painted a year ago. Something about conflict of interest with H.D. the lady was very nice and told me to call CPV vehicles in Wisconsin never had work performed by them but on phone they were very knowledgeable and professional.
