Replacement saddlebags arrived

Not sure if anyone had reported on getting their saddlebags replaced due to some workmanship issue. I got mine last week and there seems to be a definate improvement. They seem a little sturdier but that might be just me. But the coating is definately a little more noticeable and I think will last much longer and have less chance of warping or bubbling.

Wow - I remember you saying that there was a recall thingy - but I didn't expect it to be so long.

I think the issue was bigger than typical recall. The problem was in the manufacturer and Triumph has had to source a new maker for the bags on top of the normal recall. Obviously since I've not purchased bags others might have a better understanding of the situation but that is my understanding.
