I gotcha. Nice feature. I was thinking that it went on after the bolt and bag were mounted and I knew that wouldn't work....my mistake.

I just finished putting these on, cost a little more than the hardware store but you can't beat the convenience of a **** and they have a lock that prevents them from falling out.

Yeap... this is the way to go!!! Better than Harley's Recall replacement.

I figure the people who take the time to think of these things and come up with the parts to do it deserve some reward. I don't mind buying the stuff from them. You can definitely do it cheaper from the hardware store.
On my '10 Street Glide I had the Brukus. They work great, but are a bit of a PITA to put on and off. You have to use their tool.
For the '15 I wanted the security, but with easier operation. I bought the **** style from ebay - http://www.ebay.com/itm/261770374319...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
No tools required. Really happy with them.

You dont have to use their tool. Standard Torx security tool
This on Amazon for $7.47 with free shipping. Can be used on all other Torx also.
I can take it off about the same time as the *****. I bought a set, but like the security of this Brukus setup better.

You can go to Lowes and buy what you need for about 3 bucks.
I did it for under 2.
I am one that always trusted the Dzus fasteners, but after the recall decided to put a bolt in, so I went to Lowes and bought 2 extended 5/16-18 clips, and use bolts and washers I already had.
But since I've never trusted a bolt to stay tight by itself, I still use a Dzus pin in each bag..... call me undecided.

This is also what I'm going to do. Had just clips on my SG for 36,000 miles, never had a bag loose,, made sure this bike had the recall hardware installed before I bought it. Still a little worried now,, lol
