The button broke on one of my saddlebags yesterday. The stud is still good and intact on the acutal saddlebag but the the part of the button on the flap that snaps onto the stud broke in two. Does anybody know where I can get a replacement button that will work?

My wife's business requires her to frequently visit the local shop that stocks cloth and all accessories and tools for making drapes and upholstering. I went with her one day and happened to be looking through a group of accessory drawers similar to those you would find in a hardware store for nuts and bolts. I was suprised to find the identical setup that you find on our saddle bags. I suggest that you look up the local cloth material / upholsery supply shop and ask around. I bet they would have it.

Here in Phoenix the place is called Fabric Depot.

There are some leather shops around but not a Tandy

I can't help you, but this calls for a reminder for everyone who still has intact snaps. Lubricate them regularly. When they start to be tough to either open or snap, take some cooking oil on a paper towel and wipe it on the mail part of the snap. This will prevent the problem with them pulling out.

If they are OEM suzuki bags they have a repair kit if I remember right... granted I think it was like 20 bucks...

snap

http://suzukimegastore.com/Luggage/Saddlebag_Snap_Repair_Kit.htm I have to order a set as well. I'll also heed the warning about putting a little lube on the snap that is still intact.
