abbienormal, thanks for sharing your efforts in such detail. It is a really valuable contribution for the rest of us with leaking saddlebags!

Looking at my bags the gap is also uneven. I have proven to myself that the majority of my water leakage comes from the seam between the bags.
My Norge bags leaked and my California's leaks even more.
Are you saying the bags are made by Hepco and Becker, or are you suggesting that their bags should be fitted?Hepco and Becker...
I just bought the 30 litre leather Buffalo bags and c-bow mounting system.
And they are my suggestion as a high quality alternative.
abbienormal,Same here. If it ever warms up I may get to ride and test my repair. I finally got the Norge bags to where it was just minor leaking and I could pack without plastic bags. I did use bag liners from Bagsforbikes. They fit and worked great. I have the Guzzi bags now for the Tour.
Watertight cover can be a good alternative, i think.
