They are leather, it's gonna happen. At least you don't have a Heritage.

 

Bottom line is, these bags are almost $1K. No way would I put up with that. In fact, after a couple months my leather bags (as they are not 100% leather bags, but leather over hard plastic) started to warp. I do understand what seasoned leather is all about and what it looks like. This wasn't the leather but the plastic warping out of shape-BAD! Happened to be talking with a guy at a m/c shop and he stated he had same problem with his. He had called his dealership and they covered it under warranty. I did the same and they covered it also. If you look at the used RKC bikes at dealerships you will find that most of them are warped. Mostly, I think, from plastic not being thick enough. Also- "sqeaky wheel gets the grease"!!

 

It's normal.

Mine did the same thing for about 2 months. Then they just stayed smooth.

Park it in the sun and let them tighten up a bunch of times.
