any way to tighten them? I have to lock the one to keep it from coming unlatched when I'm on the road.

 

you should lock them anyways- the number of times I have seen bags flopped open and stuff falling out I can't count.

I have also seen a rider about drop the bike as they were trying to close and latch the lid on teh freeway

a quick visual- when locked, the slot on the saddlebag and tourpak latch locks will face forward

make sure the inside strap isn't caught between the bag and lid - that keeps them from latching too...

 

Go into search this forum and put in saddle bag hinges and you will get the answer you are looking for.

 

Leave them unlatched in the garage during down time, to keep the gaskets from staying crushed.

BUT.........................


Remember to latch them before going for a ride


And +1 what Mike said about locking them anyway. Mine latch pretty tight, and I've still had them pop on a large bump.
