[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1197393, member: 3828"] Is it necessary? No... at least not until a bag is about to come loose. Then it would seem more so. Like most preventive measures, if the thing you are attempting to prevent doesn't happen all that often, it won't [I]seem [/I]very "necessary" to most people who will not have experienced the problem. As an analogy, most cruiser style riders in New Hampshire don't think it is [I]necessary [/I]to wear a helmet. Have the side bags ever come off an FJR before? Obviously the answer is "Yes", though not a large percentage of the population experiences it. When they do come off they are usually pretty well trashed and expensive to fix or replace, not to mention the possibility of losing the contents. Have any bags that were "pinned" ever come off? None that I am aware of. I guess it is just a risk / rewards type of decision that you will have to make. [/QUOTE]
