Do you know Zanotti's web site?  I did a search but there are a bunch of sites for that name.

Don't have a pic of the bag on your CUSE do ya??

OK, here's a pic Dak.  Sorry it's not great - hard to get a decent pic in that part of the house, and do remember the bag is totally empty - it looks nicer full!

Hey Jim,

Thanks for the pic.

For those of you interested in the new SAC bag from Harley that fits the Contour Rack on the CUSE.  SAC now has them on their web site.  It is only available in the Rack Half SAC.  It's a lot cheper than the one from Harley.  Comes in leather or nylon.  Just click on the Rack Half SAC in either leather or nyon and it will give you a fitment choice for either the Premium Rack or the Contoured Rack.

I bought the nylon HD SAC bag part number 94798-00A today from a local dealer and when I got it home, the velcro straps aren't even close to working with the luggage rack on my SEUC2.  It even stated on the label on the box that it's for the FLHTCUSE rack...what a major disappointment.   Now I have to take it back to the dealer and tell them that it wasn't even close for fitment.  It has two sets of straps and one singular velcro strap on it and none of them came even close to the bars of the rack.  In fact, the old bag that I had for my '02 fit better after I scrunched it down a little, then this new one that's supposed to be made for the rack.   Major disappointment....I'm going to look into the Kuryakin and see if that works better.

Red,

When I ordered mine, the guy at SAC (Neil?) told me I needed the 1/2 rack SAC. P/N 310-HSD200L( invoice in hand, not the bag). It had 2 velcro attachment points in front and 2 in back with D rings on the side. He said that it would work. I'm wondering if someone didn't switch bags on you?

AJ,
The dealer had just gotten it in stock from UPS yesterday, they hadn't even taken it out of the box.  It looks just like my old SAC for my '02, but has an extra set of velcro straps on it.  I'm soooooooo pi$$ed right now...

LOL, I'll be this is a first, I'm quoting myself.  I played around with the HD SAC today, and got it finally to work on the contoured luggage rack.  It seems when they put this one together at the factory, they put the formed waterproof interior piece in wrong and it caused the bag to be shaped in such a way that the two sets of straps werent' even close to wrapping around the bars of the rack.  After taking the interior piece out and moving it around inside of the nylon shell, I finally got the shape right so that it works on the rack now.   So disregard my posting about them not working.  If you get one that it doesn't work, do what I did and get the bag shaped differently, then it will fit on the rack...I know this sounds kinda funky, but it worked for me.

Just ordered mine directly from SAC.  Got the nylon bag for $89.95.  I don't understand why anyone would buy one from Harley when you can get the same exact bag from SAC for about half the money.  But, each to their own.

Actually, It's not the same bag.  The one I got from HD is the equivalent to the Ultra Rack Half SAC with the formed dye-cut polypropylene interior.  They are the same price for the nylon...$179.95.  (The leather HD bag is actually $50 cheaper than the Ultra Rack Half SAC leather.) The Rack Half for $89 has a removable vinyl liner, which is basically a vinyl bag and they don't guarantee it being waterproof.

     I too bought the HD SAC and was really PO'ed that it did not fit. I too was embarrassed when I called SAC and talked to Pete, the owner. He told me how to hook it on and I felt like a real idiot. The problem is the HD directions tell you to use the single strap on the front of the rack. This is not so for the Premium tour pack racks. Disregard the HD instructions and use two velco straps for the front and two for the rear. Works great.

Dunno what went wrong there, Charlie - but don't give up, order the SAC version, which is the same bag, and (as you can see from my pic!) fits perfectly.  And even at a discount from Zanotti!

Don,
I, like I always do, didn't even look at the instructions until you mentioned them, and you're right, they are for the old bag, with the three velcro straps, not the new one with the 5 straps.  I had tried all combinations of straps, even turning the bag around with the handle to the rear...no combination of straps worked until I "reshaped" the bag by shifting the formed inner lining around.  I think the company just put it together wrong...everything is good now.

Jim,
I was about ready to set that thing on fire yesterday... , but with cooler head prevailing today, I worked with it until I found the problem.  It fits great now. Thanks for the encouragement.
