I called Harley about this, but they were entirely unsympathetic regarding their poorly engineered product. The edges of the saddlebags were damaged.

Same thing happened to my bags,and the seat was horrible, even after I put a gel pad in it. Went to a Mustang and never looked back, this was on my 08 flhx,maybe they improved them somehow.(rubbed and chipped the fender too)
