Default Fighting all the way

Just putting my new Kentucky drive bags on. Why is it with accessories that sometimes the bolts slide right on in and sometimes you have to fight, drill, push, threaten, walk away and go crazy when things don't quite fit. I'm sure when I get it all together that a bird will land on the back of the bike and the thing will fly apart like a giant mousetrap

Because else there wouldn't be any mechanics making money on such "abnormalities"

Is everything still together?

Them frames and bags are quite difficult to deal with.

Bikers must keep their bikes together no matter what it takes.

Do not remove both bolts from the same side of the fender at once!!!!!

If you do you will need a third hand to line up the fender and fender liner to start the bolts.
Thats why we have all these threads from members who have learned the hard way!!!!!

You have no idea how many times this website has saved me hours of doin it the hard way. By the time I get around to doing my mods the way I do them is usually problem free simply because I've read them here a dozen times beforehand. Go you good thing motorcycle journal
