I have a 2012 Conv and have lost my 2nd bag on the way to the 110 party in Milwaukee.  My husband and I both checked the bags before leaving on the trip.   The bag was on correctly and I don't believe it was human error that caused the bag to leave the bike going 50 mph down the road.   The first time it happened was in 2012 in Sturgis.  I didn't know that much about the bags so I can't say whether that was human error or not.   This time, no doubt, it was NOT human error.   I love the bike but totally frustrated with the bag issue.   Luckily, I was able to retrieve the bags and the stuff inside was intact.

If you love the bike like most of us do, there are several previous posts regarding simple solutions to secure the bags.  Glad to hear that you recovered all your stuff, and welcome to the board.

Had I been you, I would have found some of the HD CVO folks at the gathering and asked them to explain their engineering theory behind the bag attachment. You are certainly not alone on this issue.

Sorry for your issue with the bags, but simple to get a good/safe feeling.
2x 5 seconds to work and reusable zip ties.

I have read about this for years and always thought what a crappy design. Then I actually bought one and after seeing how it works and the way it "snaps" into place, I just don't get it. I put my bags on, the lock snaps into place and I ride worry free down the road. Am I just being stupid?
