[QUOTE="supertankerm60a3, post: 910349, member: 20650"] OK, months ago I bought a set of bags that had been damaged in a accident. I sanded them and gave them a fair coat of silver and clear. I found that the right one had the retaining prong jammed out of place by about a 1/4". I tried to get it back where it belonged but on dice. So I trimmed it off by the aforementioned 1/4", seemed to fit OK, as well as the left one at least. Fast forward to today... Coming home after dropping off my daughter and cross the main street. It has a rather high crown so it is always fun to blip the throttle crossing the crown front comes up, (18" or so) drops down, lots of fun. I look back and there is the right bag tumbling along the road. D'OH!! The worst of the damage is the derrned thing took a chunk of the fender out at the front mounting hole! So it is time to paint it again and get rid of the boot marks too, and extend the locking tab a bit. And maybe look up the cost of a rear fender. [/QUOTE]
