Greetings all,

I have a set of leather valk bags on the 98 and I know they are not going to seal well in the rain. In Oregon, it tends to rain a lot and I ride year 'round and unless I pack everything in baggies, I need a cover for the bags. I had a set of covers for my tourmaster bags from years ago, came with the bags. Anyone know where a person can get covers for the leather bags?

Thanks in advance,
Mike Oreo

My problem is not with the leather, it is with the top cover, especially the front part, that has no seal whatsoever. It just straps down from the side. I can envision rain hitting the front of the bag and working its way up and under the top flap.

I think I may have found something that may work from tourmaster. If no other suggestions, I may just make something out of water resistant fabric and a draw string.
