I splurged and bought a set for my FB. Question I have is one bracket(left rear) is slightly bent this doesn't allows the locking mechanism to fully seat 100% and the handle goes further down than the right side saddlebag when it does lock.

Instructions say the bar should be close to 1st D-Ring,until it breaks in,then it will move closer to the 2nd D-Ring. Right now I'm already right at the 2nd,just wondering if other people's bags had the same issue?

 

Call Garry. He will explain. Mines just fine.

 

Emailed him some pics,and tried to call. Left a message with one of his employees,but no call yet. Also does one bag fit closer to the fender than the other? One bag is 2" the other is well over 1/2" further away

 

No, mine are equal on each side. The ones on my old fxdl were equal as well. I remember when i was going to purchase the bags i have now for the deluxe, he didnt return my email with some questions i had. It turned out it didnt make it to him. Keep calling because he has always been spot on to me.
