Scratches in sadle bags

[xmicmic]

From parking my valk in the garage with all my junk in there I have scratched my saddle bags. Some pretty deep. Is there any way to repair this without having to buy new ones?.

They can certainly be repaired - sanded, scratches filled and smoothed, repainted
You can pay a professional to do it or give it a go yourself, then have a pro fix them if you don't like how they turn out 

Just pop into a body shop and have them give you a rough guestimate for the cost to help you make a decision.

Just had a friend of mine who works at a collision shop do mine and they are like brand new again.

I got some huge scratches in mine. I'm getting it sanded and painted this weekend. I'll post some before and afters

I assume you mean the stock hard bags??  Leather scratches can be treated with mink oil or Lexol Leather conditioner.  But... if it is in fact hard bags.... you can do as others have recommended or maybe look at getting them covered in leather, or at least getting guard rails installed.

Thanks everyone who responded to my question. I thought for sure you could do this but the guy that wanted to buy my bike wanted to buy new hard sadle bags because of the scratches. Dont know if he wanted me to drop the price. I want to get it fixed up totally before I sell it.

Good paint guy will take care of.   Mine had road rash from an accident and you can't tell

My bikes are 13yrs and counting.  One is more scratched than the other.  I just rub-out and polish and everything looks great from 15 feet.  The beauty of older, slightly scratched/rubbed/nicked paint and chrome is, it doesn't have to be made new.  Just spend time on the maintenance and let her age.
