Recently a friend with an 2009 O/B had a saddlebag fall off while he was going about 20mph leaving his dealer.  Scratched it up here and there but not as bad as you would think.  The dealer was at fault for not attaching it properly after a service.  Anyway they ordered a new complete bag.  The MOCO doesn't stock them and they don't paint them either.  The bag, extensions, etc. are being painted by someone in CA.  It's been 2 months and he doesn't have it yet, although it is supposed to ship to the dealer this week.  The dealer's cost is $1200.

Thats funny, I discovered my bag cracked when I picked up the O/B 09 SERG.  They ordered and received a new (painted to match) bag in a couple weeks.  Of course they have replacement painted parts!  Hell, the bikes are only a year out of the factory!

 Your friend is being a line...can't imagine a dealer ever doing that!

Not true, they never make to stock painted CVO parts.  If you got one quickly it was before they stopped the production run.  Ask you dealer how many standard parts are backordered currently.  Like all companies HD has drastically reduced inventories of everything.  For instance, the black plastic piece that surrounds the headlites.  Mine cracked on it's own 3 weeks ago.  My dealer ordered another and told me it would be at least 1 month since it is a painted CVO part.

Painted parts are done by batch run.

My just arrived/installed chopped tour-pak has a production date sticker of August 2009!~

Kind of a crap shoot... depends how much stock has already been depleted by people having accidents, etc.

Well...I stand corrected! 

I guess that might be the reason why they released the paint codes so soon...Let the local boys fix'em!  I thought that'd be kept locked up with the presidential nuke launch codes and Area 51 files for a few more years.

I will trade you your neighbor for mine

My drunkass neighbor that I have been trying to make invisible came by my house while I was cleaning my bike the other night. I have been trying to ditch this guy for the last year and have avoided him everytime he has tried to contact me. I could not get away from him this time.

I had one of my bags leaning up against the trash can. He staggered over by it and, bamb, knocks it over. The lid was open and slammed the concrete floor. Now I have some serious scratches on the lid that can't be rubbed out and one less nieghbor to deal with. He won't ever be back after I got through with him.

Lesson learned, never leave bags open and leaning against anything. Never let a drunkass neighbor that you don't like in your garage around your bike.

Does anybody know what it will cost me to get the lid repainted?

Hey Bit T,

Sorry to hear about your troubles... That's a SOB!

I know this may be considered late advise, but this is a great product that you'll use for years to come and hopefully will save your bags the next time someone comes knocking.
