[QUOTE="na1g, post: 688887, member: 18779"] I found the bags on my '09 loose enough to be a concern after only a few thousand miles. The top hooks did not fit snugly enough in their rectangular pockets and there was a bit of in-out play, but not much up-down play. I cut rectangles of bicycle innertube and glued them into the pockets with weatherstrip cement - on the outermost vertical face of each pocket (sorry, no pix - the digicam has crapped out and Santa didn't bring me a new one) The plastic hooks now fit snugly and the bags feel secure. I think I'm going to install the security pins anyway, just for peace of mind (I lost a bag from my ST1300 somewhere along a 100 mile stretch of US 6 in PA and never found it, so I'm a little paranoid about this) pete :cold: [/QUOTE]
