Default Hardbag vibration

I have a 06 Road Glide.The left side hardbag vibrates like crazy at certain times.Has anyone else had this problem?I'm sure it is just a matter of adjusting.I take it back in two weeks for the 1000 mile.I will have them check it out.

Make sure the bag is solid on the bottom support rail and then adjust the 2 top pin brackets to fit. Also make sure the bottom rail is tight.

The bag will vibrate while your bike is idling. Hell, the whole motor jumps around while you are idling. If it does not smooth out by about 2000 rpm's then something is loose.
