Update. Since I got the used part right at closing I went into settle the bill today. The owner said "no charge" and gave it me. I thanked him and that took some of the sting out of my failure. My wife was with and it helped that she saw how good Reimans H-D is to deal with.

Lost a lid on my '67. Retraced my route and found it in the middle of a busy road. Damaged but salvageable. Worst part was the lid reflector disintegrated. Hard to find and very expensive. All bikes now have small clevis pins. Live and learn.

My last set I drilled a hole in the tab and used a couple small key rings to keep them on, saved a lid that way. For some reason my left side bag loved coming loose. 4X4 replacing the foam seal on the lids every couple years helps, gets old hardens up they rattle more.

I've always wondered why saddlebags don't use a U-shaped seal installed on the top of the bag and not the lid. Seems like the fitment would be right where you need it. I guess it would be easy to damage getting stuff in/out of the bag.
Like a car trunk seal.
