Check 1st Gen saddle bag mount 1983-1985

[dingy]

Came close to loosing a saddlebag on Tweety. I only noticed mount was loose because I removed saddlebags to get painting done at WNY rally.

 

Pictures show back side of removed saddlebag. There are 2 posts that attach to saddlebag. On the end of each post is a threaded stud that screws into post. I was missing one of the studs and other was loose. I had not loosened these when I painted bike a couple of years ago. I had to use pliers to tighten as there in no provision for a screwdriver to be used. Red loctited them, won't come loose again.

 

I had a spare set of bags to get missing part from luckily.
