Default Saddle Bag Scratched

Today while polishing the old chrome (on the bike) I noticed the paint scratched off on one of my saddle bags behind the crash cage. I don't know if it came loose and rubbed on the bar, or i did it putiing on or off?? Anyone else have this problem. I did notice that one of the small locking pins is very tricky to get secured. Guess I'll have to use some touch up and buff it out. At least it is behing the crash bar, but I know it's there.

Default RE: Saddle Bag Scratched

if you take off your bag and look at the locking pin hole - you will see that if you loosen the screws that can be moved/adjusted. There is a lot of play and maybe you bag is out of adj and rubbed on something??? I know this happed at the HD shop,,, I made them repaint the bag... Ya, I know its only a rub/scratch, but it was done by HD - they can fix it - and they did....
