Saddle bag seals

#1

Post by 5speed »

Before I try and reinvent the wheel, has anyone found a satisfactory replacement for the saddle bag seals? Mine are quite mangled and my attempt to glue them on failed in sections..

I've not tried this so take it for what its worth. I think the weather seal on the RAM pickup Ram Box would work very well. I've not been able to compare the profile with the saddlebag profile. If you have a buddy with a RAM Box equipped pickup maybe he'll show you to them so you can see for yourself.

I had some pretty good luck with some weather stripping from Menards. I think I have the SKU number or whatever. Let me go take a look. I'll get back to ya.
