They dont look like they are installed correctly. There is an upsidedown u shaped hanger on the bags that must go over the mounting spools on the bike. The plunger alone will not secure the bag.
I can assure you they are super secure. Been on his bike for 3 years now and we used all included parts. We have put some crazy weight in them as well. Not sure what you’re referring to with the upside down hanger?! He bought the mounting kit and bags directly from Indian 🤔🤷🏻♂️
I know the exact part you're talking about - and it's riveted to the bag. I don't think you'd get out of the driveway with your bags if it wasn't in place. For those unfamiliar with the mounting system, the U hanger goes into the channel on the spool (mounted on the fender) and then the plunger (outside of the bag; inside the spool assembly) / lock hardware assembly (inside the bag) provide downforce and opposing tension to keep it firmly snugged into the channel. The plunger assembly otherwise free-floats within the spool assembly. Without that U hanger, it'd all just slide out and you'd have a few scuffs to show for it. You can see the U hanger assembly going onto the spool at 2:07-2:09 in the video. We used the shot of the dry-fitting in the final cut - as it showed the hanger going onto the spools more clearly. That's why you can see the plunger assemblies all sitting on the seat. You can clearly see the plunger assemblies in place at 2:15, though. It's a pretty solid system. The bags don't appreciably move - even three years later.
I've asked myself the same question. Harley makes a universal saddlebag lock many people use to lock the Indian bags. You do have to drill through the bags to install them, but it's so far the best solution I've seen to locking the Indian bags.
Loved the holy shit part the best 👌
Great video man! Ok, $1,300 for bags on a bike not meant for touring, nope! But keep the videos coming!
Thanks bud!! Yea the premium is steep for the American bikes! 👀

I'm still going to buy some merchandise just have to wait a bit
Very durable if they don't get stolen very quickly.
Why is nothing about them lockable?
