It's a similar problem with the leather tour pack on the CUSE².

07 FLHRSE3 with 1400 miles, mine look the same. I keep em lubed and I think it is the nature of the beast. Thank god this is the only problem you are having. Good Luck! hope it's better than mine.
Signed, should have bought a Goldwing!
Just saw the photo. That's butt ugly. And we're talking like my butt, not like Angelina Jolie's.

So sorry Nigel. So sorry. FWIW, perhaps I overstated the case.

Apology accepted Don. I'm sure you could get some kind of cream or other to solve your butt issues tho !!

With only 600+ miles on my SERK
Sooieee;
I've had the bike several months now, and they have been very dry months at that, so I would be very surprised if a 'baking' would help matters, but it's worth a shot as I doubt the dealer will address this matter in the form of replacements. I'll find out soon enough as my 1000 mile service is coming up. (I know, I know, several months to put a measly thousand miles on a SERK---pitiful ain't it?)
Now that you mention it, though, ---you've given me an idea --- why not give them a good soaking intentionally and then bake 'em in the sun. I doubt they'd get any worse, and they likely would tighten up some.
It's just another one of those "little things" that irritate you, especially when they are all added up.

Ok, here are the pics of my left and right bags. Hope I compressed 'em enough. I tried for the obtuse lighting to better illustrate what I'm talking about.
Might be a case of misapplied/missed/failed adhesive? I don't know for sure how these bags are constructed other than the obvious stitching of the leather to the plastic.

Just found a picture of the 2008 CVO RoadKing on the AMA site:
Look at the leather on the bags on this 2008... Looks nasty!

Thats exactly how my bags look after I wash the bike. Once they dry out, they tighten back up nicely. It won't matter in a few months though, Howie is getting me a set of Paint by Gene Hardbags for Christmas. ;) Now thats a friend! :2vrolijk_21:
Just found a picture of the 2008 CVO RoadKing on the AMA site:Another reason I am going Howie's route...and the hard bags look awesome.

Yes, and I love exchanging presents too! Travis is getting me a 131 Jims engine (not built by them of course)! Because he knows I agree with Chip, that A man can never have too much Horsepower! ;) What a guy that Travis is! :2vrolijk_21:
Hoist! 8)
DAMN
It's has taken a while but my training of Hoist has finally paid off.
Good job Howie!
Howie Fugged that up, didn't he? LOL

Sounds like a good deal to me. You go ahead and buy the engine and get it installed. Just send me the receipts, and I'll reimburse you. :deal2:
By the way "131" is the price, right? :bananarock:
Very close Travis. Just add 2 zeros to the end of the 131! ;) ;D Hoist! 8)$131.00?? :huepfenlol2:
$131.00?? :huepfenlol2:
