FXLRST Bag Lids Opening...
Has anyone else had their bag lids coming open while riding? Doesn't happen all the time, only during longer rides I've noticed.
And before anyone chimes in, yes, I'm making sure the lids are closed and latched before taking off. I've gotten to the point where I just lock them before I leave, but I really shouldn't have to do that every time. Thanks!

Possibly/probably, I took a quick look but didn't dig deep enough into it to get hat far yet. Probably going to that later today.

Happens on my Heritage occasionally, so it probably happens across families. I just make sure they're locked.

On the other hand, I have Leather Pros on my Lowrider S and zero problems and as an added bonus, they are both the same size.

Latch broke
Last year, the plastic mechanism on my left bag (stock) simply broke off. The plastic latch got dislodged from its housing, meaning I could not close the bag. Happened on a ride so I bought a plastic strap at a truck stop which I looped around the bag to keep it shut. Brought it to my HD dealer at the end of the riding season (up north) and they confirmed that the plastic part could not be reinserted or fixed, so I had to have the entire lock (or bag, at this point I dont remember) replaced, which I did. I have an 18 Heritage Classic.
So be alert for this problem with the latch and lock too.
