Broken bag hinge, and missing grab handle Allen bolt
« on: March 24, 2012, 02:01:09 PM »
Last night I popped open my right bag and got something out of it , and when I went to close it back up, the whole cover fell on the ground.

I hope I just need to slide on two new plastic hinges and I'll be good to go. I dont know anything about these bags except they're awesome. Where do I look to find the right replacements?

The hinge was probably old, plus I dropped the bike on that bag a few days ago when I was putting it on the center stand. Just got away from me. So glad I just got a bag  and brake never scratch out of the whose thing. Not fun to pick either.

Also, I noticed that my left passenger grab handle was only half connected. It appears to be missing an Allen bolt. Can I just take the opposing handle's bolt into the hardware store to locate a spare? Any advice when installing?

Xoxo

And more.


FYI, the Allen bolts in the background are for something else entirely.
