Saddle bag factory studs and springs replaced - 6/22/15
Mileage - 30,100
Was cruising the internet and saw that there was a concern the stock studs and springs that hold the saddle bags to the Victory can wear and fail resulting in loose or loosing the bags while riding. Found a company on line that sold a rugged bolt kit for $39.99 + shipping. Thought that price was a little steep. Went up to Charlies (local hardware/farm store in Wentzville) and bought four good grade bolts and regular size "u" type fasteners for about $6.00. Used the original washers and installed new allen bolts and fasteners "u" style spring nuts.
Saddle bags are now nice and secure.
For sale - OEM saddle bag bolts and spring clamps - $50.00 - The bolts are $15.99 each at Victory site and they don't even show the spring clamp price - says call dealer.
