Critical Fastener Check Addition
« on: January 04, 2009, 10:14:54 AM »
So...........beautiful morning here in north Alabama.  Roads are damp, but no biggie.  I decided to go for a ride and burn off some more break-in miles on the green bike's new engine.
Stopped to get gas before heading to the house.  Needed to get into the left saddlebag and the latch fell apart!  Was able to recover one screw and thread it back in place to keep the lid on for the short ride home.  There are five screws that hold the top of the latch to the top of the saddlebag, H-D P/N:  3595.  Decided to check the other side.  One screw is missing and the other four are loose.
Last work on these bags was Feb 2007.........bad paint replacement of the lowers.  No idea if those jobs were done right or not, but figured I'd pass this along, so everyone can check their bags and see if their screws have worked loose.

Since this happened on an SEUC, that's the board in which I've posted it, but if it is deemed an important enough check, please move it to the appropriate board so the SEEG, FLTRSEI, and 1st GEN FLHRSEI folks have visibility as well.

 Had that same thing happen as we were packing to leave Las Vegas a couple years ago. Like you i was able to find 2 screws and take 1 from the other side to secure the lids to make it home. Wouldn't look good with duct tape around the bag/lid on a long ride. Dave

Yeap, those get a dose of loctite on all mine.  Seen them loose too many times before.  They're still on the "quick look" cycle of fasteners and other things to put eyes on while oils are draining during services.

One of those tape dispensers would be cool to give to Hogasm.  He could mount it on a side cover and always be ready for anything :huepfenlol2: .

I saw that picture this morning and can not find the picture of the duct tape...bailing wire cross country trip.

I like the dispenser but with all the other extra gadgets needed to keep my scoot together.....it would take up too much room.

Ok, better idea.  Mount it on top of Kathy's helmet.  Out of the way but readily accessible.  Perfect!

Acquired five like fasteners and put everything back together with loctite............and then did the other side.  Good to go!

Shameless picture included.   :)

I can hear it now.....

If you had left your bike stock like mine we would not need to carry half of this chit 

And I'll be damned if you are going to mount anything on my custom helmet
