LATCH ON THE RIGHT SADDLE BAG IS WORN ALMOST TO THE POINT OF NOT HOLDING, IF THIS WAS NOT FOUND BEFORE WEARING ALL THE WAY THROUGH. THIS WOULD HAVE CAUSED THE BAGGAGE DOOR TO OPEN AND LOOSE THE CONTENTS OF THE BAG ON THE ROAD CAUSING UNDUE ROAD HAZARD FOR OTHER MOTORCYCLES AND CARS, WHICH WOULD CAUSE ACCIDENTS .
