"And this one is just right" ~ Goldilocks
My Triumph leather bags were looking pretty sad, so I ordered the Saddlebag Stiffeners from Flipmeister and I am super impressed and satisfied with the results. They look way better and I believe they now hold more gear than in their previous limp state.
The instructions are well-written, just be sure you follow them carefully. I did quite a bit of wrestling with my bags before they finally lined up correctly. Don't question the inserts, it's your bags that have shrunken and changed shape.
The directions recommend applying Neatsfoot Oil to the inside of the bag to help soften the leather and I'm glad that I did- I used about 12 ozs on mine, as they were pretty dried out. I'm not sure he has them listed on his website, but he does still carry them- just drop him an email or call, if you're interested.
