#1020714 silverghost (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 1 Hard saddlebags 6 Months ago   Is there a way to tighten the hard saddlebags on my 2014 Silverado ? One seems a little loose and I saw a guy loose one and don't want that to happen to mine.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #1020719 brad_g (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 123 Re:Hard saddlebags 6 Months ago   My '08 has 4 bolts that mount it through rubber mounts. So it will move a little but not much. Make sure those are tight. They bolt to the bag bracket. If that's loose you'll notice the rear floorboards or the backrest is loose as well. If all the bolts are tight you might take it off and inspect the plastic around the rubber mounts to make sure it's not cracked and flexing.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #1020720 brad_g (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 123 Re:Hard saddlebags 6 Months ago   Oh and   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #1020722 BikerRon (User) Sour Kraut Platinum Boarder Posts: 4189 Re:Hard saddlebags 6 Months ago   silverghost wrote: I saw a guy loose one and don't want that to happen to mine. Not a common thing if the mounting bolts are tight.   Logged     ' width='450' border='0' style='max-width:450px; ' />   The administrator has disabled public write access. #1020728 gennaro (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 217 Re:Hard saddlebags 6 Months ago   can't imagine not having a heads up if a bag got so loose as to lose it.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #1020744 SKWEARpeg (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 12885 Re:Hard saddlebags 6 Months ago   The bags will flex some because of the rubber bushings(there should be a steel core piece, the bolts pass through), but I can't see one coming loose unless some one skipped something important, like ....well?....the bolts.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #1020769 Shores (User) Go getchur scooter! Platinum Boarder Posts: 6961 Re:Hard saddlebags 5 Months, 4 Weeks ago   Never a problem on my 08. Make sure you have the four rubber bushings and four metal bushings in each hole. I've never even had to use loctite. My bolts seem to get tighter. Use pink duct tape if you are concerned!   Logged     The west is the best - Jim Morrison Photo by GreenMachine   The administrator has disabled public write access. #1020774 MikeyC (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 681 Re:Hard saddlebags 5 Months, 4 Weeks ago   O.K.
