Read a review of this bag that said on a Harley Ultra it rubbed the speaker covering and wore a small hole in one. Has anyone with a Harley Dresser had this problem? I'm going to mount it on a 14 Ultra Limited for a 10 day tour to the Dragon and back. Wouldn't want to damage the speakers while doing it. Thanks.

I use this bag on my 08 Ultra, and it does indeed fit tight on the back seat/speaker housing. I've ridden over 4K miles with it. I have the chrome rings around my speakers though, so haven't seen any damage.

I slid my tour pack back 2" on my 2011 Ultra CVO to give my wife more room. She has her own bike now and she doesn't ride with. No problem with the bag rubbing the tour pack speakers, Moving the tour pack took about 1 hour.

I have used mine several times with no problems. Rider of an 05 Ultra here. If you are worried at all, go with something like the t-bags back seat bag or something similar to that style.

I had read the comments concerning this. I found that if I took a lid from 2# plastic coffee container over the speaker it prevented any problems. I covered 12,000 miles over a three week period last summer and did not have any problems. The lids weren't damaged at all but the did have some marks on them from the rubbing when loading and removing the bag from the bike. I don't know if they were really needed but I didn't want to take any chances.

in my opinion' no there are only four magnets two on each side my bag came off at 65 miles an hour I added two magnets one per side and the bag stayed on past 100 miles an hour. 07 Harley FXSTD

I see you have a 'yes' so that's likely good info. I assume you have checked specs on the bag. Had mine a couple years having just yesterday unpacked my bike, folded & stored the bag. I am always amazed at the high quality of this bag considering the $20 I paid for it. I use it in cars, trucks, busses, trains to transport road bikes.

Dear Abhishek,Thank you for your post. The speaker is indeed covered by holes, which allows the sound to travel through the holes while still protecting it from getting damaged more easily (i.e., food, dust, sharp objects, etc). Please feel free to message us again if you have any additional questions or concerns. Best,Ryan

not sure of hole size.....used speakers in 6x9 oval cut outs on Harley speaker lids...had to drill new screw holes because they didn't line up with 4 existing holes....they will not fit in a round hole...bass response is a little weak

there is some chance for interference. i had no problem as my levers and shifters are angled down so the cables don't stick out the front very far. it is a very well-made bag. i also have the tail bag; one of the best items i've ever purchased. i love bushwhacker!

My Bike is a 2013 Street Glide. I liked the Dayrunner Bag, but it fit too loosely on my Sissy Bar for my comfort. I have had a hard time finding a bag that will tighten onto this Bike's Sissy Bar.

I would think that paint/metal rub from is a possibility as with any "loose" item on a bike. The Velcro is industrial strength as it takes both hands to remove, so the bag itself is going nowhere once attached. I personally would err on the side of caution and remove the bag for anything other than a short/in-town trip.

I'll be honest with you..I love the bag, but didn't use all the straps in favor of using some long cable ties to mount it super secure on my fender. It's a universal fit so it has to cater to a lot of different bike styles...knowing that, I used what I could and cabled tied what I needed. Nobody can see them at all, so it looks pretty clean on my FXDF. Great little tail bag though. I realize that doesn't answer your question, just answers how to get around the question. :)

I had a black 1979 Harley Fatbob Superglide a long time ago and I used a paste wax once. I found it got caught in every nook and cranny. At the time I used Armorall and it worked great. You just have to make sure not to use any oil on hot pipes as it will "blue" them or stain them if not wiped off. The Collinite (like all pastes) is hard to get out of hard to reach places. Don't know if this helps or not.

No. I did a gig last weekend and it stunk up my car again. I've had the bag for 3 months now. Still, a great gig bag for the price. Maybe Febreeze will help?

I have a Yamaha FZ6 with under-seat exhaust and I've had no issues from the exhaust heat. Also, I think the bags are great. I've had mine for a a year and a hlf.

Well, these gig bags need to be gentle with. I have had mine for more than 2 years, but I am very careful with it. The gig bag should have the world tour info in the pocket. Mine was new had it. Also Amazon has the A-Z guarantee. They are awesome with that. Hope this helps.

Not for sure on that, but my Harley half helmet barely goes in. And I have to jamb it in. Then it takes up a lot of space. But I packed for a week for Sturgis with my helmet in the bag.

has a bad rattle even barely pushing it I have not taken the time to take it apart to see what is causing it. the speaker itself seems to be handling the power as well as the amp. brobably some part of the wood needs to be screwed in and glued. that was my experience with it hope that helps. it is huge with a big bad 15!

This is my second one of this style and I haven't had any issues. It may be because it is a deep bag. I use mine everyday.

I never had a problem with the bag rubbing. It's pretty narrow. I didn't even notice that it was there until I needed to get something out of it.
