Default Saddlebag hardware

I was looking at this product from advanblack for the saddlebags on my 2001 road king.

https://www.advanblack.com/advanblac...all-years.html

I'm just looking for something that will attach them to the bike more securely and lessen the chance of them vibrating and coming loose. Should these work well for that?

Thanks guys

If you are just worried about vibration, I’d use blue locktite and be done with it

If he has OEM fasteners, Loctite won’t work on the OP’s bags. They are Dzus fasteners.

OP, the fasteners you have now aren’t holding properly?

I'm not having trouble with them, more of just a preventive thing. Although one of my bags is slightly loose enough to rattle, but i don't know why.

The ones on the bike currently look like this

I swapped mine out for these. Pricey but I like the low profile and they seem very secure.
