My bag inserts were painted graphite grey (frame color) which I always thought looked cool. On my wife and I's road trip they got scratched up from the dry bags being strapped to them I think. I was out of graphite grey so I went with satin black.

I like 'em.

I also got rid of the '12 Camaro and '03 Suburban and downsized to a '13 Audi A3 Quattro. Awesome car.

That looks really nice. I just converted my black bike to red and am getting my inserts painted red. I'm riding with them off for now and was just thinking how nice and clean the bags looked all black. Great minds think alike!

Nice! I like how a color change on the inserts completely changes the look on the bike.

Yeah, I saw someone else's black insert job and didn't like it.

I really liked my graphite grey job but didn't want to order a can for the price.

It is rustoleum satin black. Turned out good, maybe I like it more because I did it : ).

Anybody know a source code (and source) for the Journey inserts? Dropped my bike on the trailer...grrrr. Already ordered left side scoops from Al and another mirror.

Ahhh... no, I think they are still available via Hepco and Becker (sp). Keep the buell sticky in the middle as that doesn't come on the HB bags.

Did you tape off the logos or peel and restick? I would assume tape off.

Taped them off. Could have done a better job if I were more patient but I just used 3 strips of blue painters tape and went around the outside with a razor blade quickly.
