Default HD Quick Detach Rotary Latch?
Does anyone know if theres an aftermarket company that makes better Bushings for the HD quick detach rotary latches to mount to? and or does anyone have any tips on how to make your latches go on and off a lot smoother? Its a nightmare to mount or remove my tour pack that has the quick detach kit installed?

Thanx

Mine loosened up and adjusted over time and is fairly easy to get on and off.

Look up gilbos440rt on HD forum members and send him an email or PM. He makes the aluminum ones. Just don't have time right now to find his email addy. Just bought the 2 up tourpak bushings from him and they are great.
