    Very nice, are you sticking with those cross-over pipes or upgrading to something else?

    Yeah I used Docs on my bags
    but when I hit them with the Leather new
    it took all the docs off, rags and fingers were
    black! And the bags looked blacker.

    the spray is a conditioner and will soften the leather
    for you.

    Also if the bags are out of shape which all
    older heritage bags end up getting droopy
    you should look into a saggy bag kit

    Put on on the 00 heritage and it really
    makes the bags shape up nicely, hard work
    to install but they get back to
    factory shape and are better to put stuff
    into.

    This is the stuff that I use. I like it a lot and it WORKS!!! It can be expensive but a little goes a long way. I have now had my stuff for two years with regular use on my chaps, jacket and of course two pairs of boots. Oh, lets not forget all of Hot Riders stuff.
