Anyone know what these loops are for on heritage bags, on the front of each bag is a loop that is covered by the lid when the bags are closed? They are standard bags off 1999 Heritage Softail.

 

Tow hooks for Goldwings????

 

I'm not sure what the intended use was but a friend of mine hung his front end lock in it.

 

Another winner, winner chicken dinner! Lock loops.......

 

Thanks for the information, as I had no idea what they were for

 

I've owned my 1999 since it was new and always wondered what they were for...

 

I realize this is a way old thread, but I have these same bags and haven't found an anwer to the OP's question. Anyone?

 

Try reading the thread.
Do I know for sure that's what they are for?
No I don't but it's my best guess.

 

I read it. Try responding without the smarmy impertinence.

 

If you had read it you would have found that our best guess is to hold the lock for front end.
BTW if you want smarmy I can do it but I try very hard not to.
Have a nice day.
