Good dealer Experience, again...

Went back to Texan HD in Conroe, TX yesterday to get my left saddlebag looked at. I had a hard time getting it to close. I got there about 9 AM, they took it right in. When they found the problem, the tech took me into the shop and showed me. The tech fixed it, and I was out of there in an hour.
I couldn't find the thread relating to this problem, cause I know others had this problem. The lock was interfering with the latch. A little file work, and it was good.

No big deal for me as I lock bags while riding anyway. A habit I got into after a buddy's came open on a trip. Don't think he lost anything but when you hit a big bump or in his case go over a rough bridge connection it could happen. Sometimes its these little things you learn from others that makes for smooth touring trips.
