Default Pricey saddlebag mount
Had to buy a saddlebag mount for an FlHT. It's that little square "U" shaped bracket that comes off the front of the fender sail and the quarter turn fastener goes into. Now this is just the bracket, not the little spring "Dzus" fastener, they are extra!!! It costs $38.00 each. This is for about a 5" by 1" by 1/8" piece of metal with a slot in one end and a hole in the other, plus two 90 degree bends. I think this has to be the worst value for your money part that the MOCO sells. Does anybody know of a worse value ??? If so post it.

Default Wonder why
Some people get offended when the term "stealer" is used.

Default Reflector
I changed out my saddlebag latch cover. One would assume it comes with the reflector already on it. Well it doesn't. It is an extra $5 to put a reflector on. It is not like you can take the reflector off of the old one being that you will bust it. They get you coming and going. Still love it though!!
