My new to me 07 Uly came with a scratched up LS luggage. Does anybody happen to know the part number to replace this? I called my local dealer and was told then will look it up when they get time over the next couple days I was going to hold off but I guess I should think about buying it now. |

Whats damaged? The whole thing or just the plastic silver piece? |

The silver parts are fine, just the black is scratched up. If the silver comes off (did not look that close yet) I could move it over to new case. |

Silver comes off. Gray bumper comes off. Latch comes off. I'd pull it all off, mask the back half of the bag, and paint it with texture black paint. A new bag is going to be a couple hundred bucks. The bags are Hepco-Becker Journey 42L cases. You can get them from a H-B distributor; only thing different is the Buell logo / HB logo medallion, but it just sticks on. |

I was also told, by someone at Hepco-Becker that the color of the silver part has a bronze tint so you cannot get a good match from Hepco-Becker for the silver part. Is this true, my silver/bronze tint on the right side is scratched up. a |

The panel on the Uly bags is the same color as the Uly tail section and engine cases - I believe they call it Titanium. You can get it as an aerosol touchup AFAIK. I painted mine orange to match my '06s bodywork. Ford Grabber Orange, in Testors plastic model paint. |

Ratbuell-How is the paint holding up. I was thinking about paining mine black w/that paint sold for plastic by Kyrlon. |

I did the rubber bumpers with the Krylon fusion. It's holding up awesome. The model paint....well, it was six bucks |

Wow, I was hoping I could buy just the outer 1/2 of the black lid. I figure I am going to scratch it anyway, instead, someone else put the first scratch in it. It adds character. My 87 BMW k100 rs was real clean, until I backed a leaf rack behind my ATV into it, and it fell over in slow motion. Now it has character as well. Thanks!
