Default Floppy Saddle Bag Latches

Just learned something, Bagger saddle bag latches tend to flop around with some age. Figured my latches were worn out but inspected closer, the spring was rusted and broken, checked pricing and OEM was scary, more China stuff on Ebay than imaginable. Did some research, the broken spring was updated by Harley with a stainless spring, part # 90707-00A, already had mine apart trying to fix the rusty spring and a easy job. The part is available thru Harley @ $4.04 for the pair, started laughing saying never heard that before at a Harley dealer, anyways those floppy latches can be repaired.

Did mine a few years ago.
Sure made difference in how they latched and a funny little rattle went away at the same time
