Remove saddlebags before dealer servicing?
I'll be going in for my \\;1K dealer service in a few weeks or so and was wondering if any folks here remove their saddlebags before dropping of their bikes or leave them on.

Never thought about it. \\; I wonder how many guys have had bad experiences? \\; I guess it would be over the top to go over the bike with the writer so we all know the condition. \\; It seems to me that it would be good PR for a dealer to do a similar sheet like the car rental folks do. \\; I would make me feel better.

Never take mine to the DEALER for any service work.

I have never removed mine, no issues either. My dealer does a walk around while I'm standing next to the bike. Any scratches or marks are noted ( there isn't any). Bike comes back that way or dealer replaces any damage.

Do the work myself, or get a good indy....try to avoid a dealer at all costs.

I would take 'em off, just to be on the safe side. \\; It only takes a few seconds compared to possibly weeks to get new bags or have the scratch repaired.
