[QUOTE="TomInPA, post: 1000966, member: 21394"] Resurrecting another Zombie thread because I was looking to do the saddle bag pin mod. During the Ruben Run I was hit from behind by another bike, which ejected the left saddlebag. The front wheel and fender of the bike behind ran right between the left muffler and the tire. Neither of us fell, but damage to the saddlebag, muffler, rear fender cowling and bag retaining stay on the subframe. I wonder if having the bag eject was actually what allow us to remain upright. Anyway, with the pin in place, the bag is able to be kept on the bike, even though the latching bar is sheared off. The bag was tied to the bike with a ROK strap, so it never hit the ground, but it did dent the muffler. The paint still looks very good except for some small vertical scratches on the lower rear cover. [/QUOTE]
