Author Message   Adam_tuft Posted on Sunday, June 28, 2009 - 06:19 am:        Does anyone know where i can get the narrow hardbags and mounting bracket for my 1999 S3?   5liter Posted on Tuesday, June 30, 2009 - 12:01 pm:        Try one of the sponsors. They sometimes pop up on Ebay.   Bprigge Posted on Sunday, July 12, 2009 - 10:54 am:        I have a set of narrows on my 97 S3T that I will trade for a set or wides if you have the wides. Bruce   Adam_tuft Posted on Monday, July 20, 2009 - 08:29 am:        I wish I had a set of wides to trade you right now i have nothing. I am thinking about getting something aftermarket, any one got any ideas and or pics?   Mnscrounger Posted on Monday, January 03, 2011 - 07:03 pm:        It seems a lot of owners are looking for lids, either wide or narrow, and they don't seem to be getting cheaper. Has anyone thought of a group buy for someone to manufacture repro's? Another thought: BMC must have contracted out a fair amount of manufacturing of the parts and accessories. I wonder with the shuttering of BMC, if those manufacturers could be persuaded to dust off their tooling? HD certainly won't order any more. It would be nice if we had a Buell insider give us the skinny on just who made what for our bikes.   Court Posted on Monday, January 03, 2011 - 07:30 pm:        >>>It would be nice if we had a Buell insider give us the skinny on just who made what for our bikes. Dan Lang and Dan Remington. Actually the S3 bags were outsourced . . . but the quantity was small (like 17 sold in CA) and it was 12 years ago. The guy who designed the S3 bag is living in CA now . . I can check and see if I can learn anything. There are two folks who would have a pretty good handle on it if they can recall.   Mnscrounger Posted on Tuesday, November 08, 2011 - 07:07 pm:        I was at a trade show yesterday talking to a local manufacturer of shipping and tool cases about this dilemma. It's possible with a group order we could get S3 bag shells reproduced. Inners, wide and or narrow lids. They probably would not be exact reproductions due to short run tooling and manufacturing processes,and would always need paint to match, but would look correct, and should accept the stock hardware, which at last check was still mostly available from HD. Any interest? This is just a feeler for interest, I'm not making any promises.   J_dickau Posted on Sunday, March 11, 2012 - 04:27 am:        I am interested. Could we also get someone to make S3T fairing lowers?
