[QUOTE="27Man, post: 284522, member: 2107"] Have had my 06A about 15 months now....coming up on 12K miles. After reading about this screw problem months ago, I checked my latches periodically and never noticed anything getting loose so I assumed the dealer had used Loctite. A week ago I noticed my left saddle bag latch was loose...one screw missing and the other ready to drop out. Was at the store about 4 blocks from home so I just finger tightened the remaining screw, checked the other bag which was fine and snuck on home. Whew! Took out the one remaining Security Torx screw....went down to ACE Hardware and purchased 6 Stainless hex head screws. Turned out, the one missing screw was broken off in my lock, so I swaped that lock for my #3 lock, backed out the Secuity Torx heads with a pliers, applied Blue Loctite and treaded in the S.S. hex heads. Did the same with my right bag because I noticed the dealer had not used any Loctite on the original. Feel like I dodged a bullet. 27Man :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
