Anyone have bag chaps?

Looking to buy some studded saddle bag chaps. Just wandering if anyone has them and if you like them. Looking at $85 shipped but dunno if its a worthwhile purchase or not. Havent seen anyone with pictures so didnt know how popular they are.
Thanks

I don't have them but a lot of folks on here do,check out P & H Customs they do good work and I think they are cheaper than what you are looking at.

I have a set on my bike from P&H Customs and they not only look terrific but they also protect the hard bags from boots as well. Did not get the studs on mine, went with the plain. They did such a good job i also purchased the tank bib from them as well.

I also have a set on my Nomad that I purchased from PH Customs. Great product at a great price. They also protect the top of the bags from shoe scuffs.

Nothing against those who like them, but I think shiny paint looks better than leather/vinyl.

If I was worried about scuffs, I'd go to a clear bra installer and have them put the clear sheet over them like the high end luxury cars often have. That way they would be protected from scuffs and still have the cool two tone paint look.

I agree with Dan except I went with the bag top rails to keep from scuffing the paint when I accidentally hit the bags getting on and off the bike.
I like shiny paint also better than vinyl or leather.

I bought mine from PH Customs right after they came out with them. So, I've had them on for a while. Had mine made with pockets, which has turned out to be very useful.

I too have PH Customs, studded bag chaps and a studded tank bib. Great products and a great company. I think the wife must'a kicked one of the studs off one of the bag chaps a few weekends ago. PH Customs mailed me some (I asked for extras) replacement studs no charge.
