Default Lost my hard bag on the freeway....

Right side fell off while I was going down the freeway. of course, it broke into a thousand pieces and scattered the stuff everywhere.
I got the stuff, but couldnt carry a demolished bag on the Harley, so I left it there. I know that I wish I could have gotten the lock and other hardware, but with no tools, what could
I do?
Maybe the vibration moved the fasteners or something????

So does anybody have a right side, Road King hard bag?
And what can I do to make sure this never happens again.

That is one of the things I really want to do to my bike, replace those stock things with some bolts,washers, and nuts.

There was a thread a while ago about people stealing saddlebags right off the bikes, all it takes a a quick solid pull and they pull right off.

That's why I carry Duct tape. That stuff will fix almost anything.
