The only thing holding bags onto bike is the plastic locking device.
Bar should be solid across the top, with the locking tab swinging up from underneath.
Look at your original sketch on the plate, thats how it should be.
Might still be OK, but would make me nervous.
You are correct. If I was going to carry a heavy load I would be worried. But 10-15lbs max. I pushed on it when I installed it and it is very secure, the locking arm on the swivel lock is strong and the part, I believe, is made from aluminum.

Good catch I'm thinking. Would make sense that the hook drop down onto the mounting peg versus slide up onto it. Gravity can be friend or foe!

I did pretty much the same thing (here's a link to my post https://www.hdforums.com/forum/dyna-...with-pics.html)

I would suggest getting some round stock and making a support that goes down the back of the back just to keep it from flopping around.

good job and i like the bags if you decide to sell em cheap let me know.

I was thinking about something like that, if for nothing else, just to tilt the bottom of the bag out a little.

The braket bieng upside down works for me for now, I do plan on turning it over and using it the correct way. But I need to work on my lights ordeal first, that way the current turn/brake sig is not in the way of installing the bag, which it is now.

I also, plan on doing the double install setup so I can install the bag(s) and the sissy bar.
