[QUOTE="art miller, post: 1244911, member: 19411"] As a suggestion to those who do not have this problem, when you are mounting the bags be very careful when lowering the carrying handle. Gently wiggle the bag as you are lowering the handle to ensure it is lining up with the recess in the upper frame. I believe the problem of "skipped tooth" is caused by forcing the handle down when mounting or possibly from the bag moving abruptly upward when on very rough roads. Riding with empty bags allows them to move upward very easily causing on-going pressure and wear on the gears. Just my 2 pennies worth!! [/QUOTE]
