Default Handle bars question AND saddlebag question

I have a 2007 Road King Classic, I'm looking to install 14 inch Meat Hook bars from Dominator. Question is, have any of you done it and what new bar clamp did you use? Were you able to still use your stock chrome clamp cover?

Second question, I installed some aftermarket hard saddlebags that have the 2014 and up one touch open system. Both bag lids latch but have plenty of play in them. They rattle like crazy with the bike running. Is there any way to adjust the latching system on them?

Thanks in advance

Make sure the gaskets are on it and in the right place?

Have you tried bending the latch loops that mount in the bags themselves?If you can get them down a bit it may stop the lids from rattling.

Well, just went to harley and got some factory lid gaskets. They are much thicker. Installed the one on the left side and it's very tight latching now. No more rattle!
