Time Stamp 8-31-10
All of the saddlebag hardware with the exception of the bottom bag clip is being chrome plated. The parts should be back to the shop in about 10 days.
The rumor that you cannot chrome plate the original lid latch will be put to rest. I will post a pic of the latch when I get it back.
No updated pics today. The bags are 60% completed. I will post pics soon showing the repairs and then primed. Incorporated into this thread will be a prime and paint lesson.
New mounting panels are being fabricated out of new galvinized steel. The mounting holes will have bronze bushings inlayed into the fiberglass. The new mounts will last 25 years or more.
