Saddlebags
I read a post yesterday on saddlebags falling off after the fix had been done. Are many folks are still seeing the issue with bags coming loose? Wondering how many folks have just switched to bolting them down or some other solution other than the stock quick release?

I didn't go the brukus route... I went the home depot route... but didn't a recent post say there was a fix for the fix (or a recall to the recall).
Everyone has a story where someone stole something off their bike... so why not bolt them down and be done with it.

Okee Dokee ... Mine is a 2009 FLHTCU and I've never had them fall off, nor have I ever found the pins loose. If you're interested in "updating" your's use a couple of "clip nuts" along with appropriate bolts and you'll be fine. No need to buy (expensive ) kits.

I wonder which model has the most problem ??
I have been working on a Road King Custom lately and it has the rear crash bar eliminator style saddlebag supports and compared to my bike with the regular type his sure moves a lot.
Loaded bags, big bump, stylish saddlebag supports, lots of movement, bags gets loose and goes for a skid ?????

I think I paid 30 bucks for my Brukus kit. I'm not too concerned about it being "high priced."
Second Harley with this kit. No regrets.
