The bags that come with all the convertibles make the bike look cheap, that's why I went with hard bags, no problems

Brukus - please correct me if I am incorrect, but your company doesn't make a product to secure the ConV saddelbags.  I have emailed you before with no respose and I contacted your company and they said that you didn't have anything that would accommodate the special mounts on the ConV.  If that has changed please let us know, all the ConV's have tempermental mounts.

cycle Visions makes the bracket kit, as does a company up in Canada (RnR custom cycles, I think)

Then cost of bags and painting to match. Did the same thing on my '03 Fatboy.. loved it.

I had about $1200 into the whole thing including shipping all the stuff to Hawaii.

I had both the right (2x) and left saddle bag fall off in the first 2 months of owning my 2010 ConV. I was luckily able to recover both with minimal damage and was convinced that there was something wrong with the latching system. Ever since then I ALWAYS make a point to double check the bag mounting points and locks to make sure they are securely latched into place before every ride. In the 2 years since that time I have not had another bag fall off. I hate to say it but the statistics are on the side of human error - at least in my case. Now prior to this I would have sworn under oath that I latched the bags properly prior to each ride when the bags fell off but the data doesn't seem to support that. Now giving the latches a twist to make sure they are locked into place and secure is part of my normal preflight check. I can honestly say I am comforable enough with them to use the bags again without adding any 3rd party product to secure them further.

The Brukus set-up is really and antitheft item and but doubles to secure the bags better while moving down the highway.  Good stuff

I had my left one pop off a week ago.  The only thing that I can think happened is that we had stuffed it pretty full and upon removing the items the latch wasn't completely secured.  Hit a nice pothole and it came bouncing down the road.  My local dealer is not who I purchased the bike from, but they were really easy about getting it ordered.  About 15 minutes for him to do some research on individual parts or fully assembled and will get it after the 20th since it is on back order.

I too just picked up my 2012 CVO convertible and almost made it home after my first 50 miles. Hit a speed bump and lost the right saddle bag in traffic. So sad. I researched this bike for three years and felt like I knew it inside and out. Should have gone to this site first to see the problem. I love the bike. The dealer said they would take pictures and order a new one. Surely Harley will come up with a fix.

I'm with you I gotta believe human error.  If your riding home from the dealer after picking up your new bike and the bag falls off its the dealers fault absolutely.
