All of the reasons above are why we developed the SaddelbagSecure. We hear from guys all the time who are careful with their bags and still lose them. OR have had or know of bikers who have had them stolen. Some areas are definitely worse than others, but (as the video on our website shows) the bags can be popped off in less than 15 seconds.

We try and make it easy for you to go online, order the product and all is included - with tamper-proof security bolts and wrench.

And you get everything for both bags for $22.45 with your HDForums.com discount below.

 

Also, we are running a contest to name our new Tour Pac securing device - so you can get that for free! We have had a ton of requests for something like this. Enter as many names as you'd like! Need Help Naming A Product!

 

As I said, I've been all over the country, attended many different rallies and put hundreds of thousands of miles on several different baggers and have yet to lose a bag to a faulty Dzus fastener or a thief. And I've never worn a Dzus out or even seen one that was worn out. I have seen a few that were bent by someone's impatience, though.
Brukus, more power to ya, man. You managed to create a market for an unnecessary product. I gotta respect that.

 

As I have said many times on this forum - our products are not for every one. But I have to take exception to the statement that we have created a market for an unnecessary product.

I developed the SaddlebagSecure for my own personal use. Never had any intention of doing any more with it. I wanted a way to secure my bags from theft and they still come off quickly. I had never heard of bags falling off at the time, either - but I knew how easily they could be stolen, I was preparing for a trip to the Keys and I was tired of lugging the bags in the hotel at night when I traveled.

I also had had the pins bend on me and I just didn't like them. Then riding buddies saw the SaddlebagSecure (which wasn't even named at that time) and they wanted them. Then others suggested I should sell them. And that's where the business started.

ALL of the rest of the securing products I have designed have come about because customers have contacted us about making a product to secure something because of their own experience. The tour pack securing device we are about to launch - same thing. We have had a ton of requests for that.

We don't create a market - we meet our customers' needs. It had never entered my mind about a seat being stolen until customers kept asking for a securing device for their seats.

The ShieldShackle was as much to stabilize the detachable windshield as anything - but then we started hearing about guys having them stolen AND wind blowing them off from the back side.

We get to hear all the stories of what's been stolen. A guy from Texas called just a couple of days ago to order the SaddlebagSecure because he had new custom painted bags and knew of 2 friends in his riding group who had had their bags stolen recently. And he had just been at his dealer standing talking and a guy drove up with 2 different bags because he had lost one going down the road.

That's great it hasn't happened to you in many years. But it does happen. And we're just trying to help bikers be able to go out there, enjoy their ride, and not worry about it. Park their bike at a hotel and know everything will be attached the next morning. Unlike the guy whose Mustang seat was gone when he went out the next morning and he road the 200 miles home sitting on his rolled up jacket.

 

You sound like an honest man. I'm gonna check out your website. You can't please all the people all the time. As long as your customers are happy, great.

 

I live off 80 in Joliet IL just curious what part of 80.

 

A friend at work had his Road King bags stolen in his driveway! The bike was out of his sight for only a few minutes. They were full of riding gear too. Dealing with the insurance company was a pain.

 

Another reason to have bag rails. All it would do is rattle around within the rails rather than fall off the bike. They aren't just for looks folks, they serve a purpose to protect from bike drops, bumps and bag falling off the bike if pins aren't installed correctly.

When i bought my RK I wouldn't even accept delivery of it until the bag rails had been installed.

 

Paranoia always spark consumerism, i bought a couple thousand rounds when people were saying the world is going to end.

 

If your bag falls off it is "pilot error".
