2. Mounting bracket holes were for much larger screws. Way too loose around the correct mounting screws.
3. Mounting holes in the bags were misaligned with the mount points on the bike. Had to drill new holes in the bags. And yes, I ordered the correct bags.
4. The mounting brackets were too long for the bags.
5. Can't open the bags completely. The back of the lid hits the passenger seat keeping it from opening all the way which makes accessing the inside very hard. That's just poor design.
6. Paid extra for locks that don't work. If I had known they were so useless, I wouldn't have ordered lockable bags.
7. Can't use one key for both bags. Each bag is keyed differently. Seriously?
8. After a couple weeks use they are falling apart. Seams along the lids are frayed and seperating.
9 A week later I'm still waiting for service to get back to me.
