(1) There's no place to tie a bag or two! I do a lot of motorcycle camping, and I need to strap gears onto the back. Help!
(2) I have a comment about the saddle bag latch. I think I know the problem: ham fisted mechanics. When the bike was new, the latches was very finicky. When the dealer was prepping the bike, one of the "mechanic" was using violent force to slam it shut! I walked up to him to see what the hell was going on. He failed a few times of slamming it. Then he try to put his weight on it; it shut partially. It obviously didn't shut completely, seeing the uneven gap. He took off for a test drive, and right away, the lid popped open. He jumped off the bike and slammed it, and again it was only partially shut. But it didn't fly open this time. I took drove it home and learned to gently coax the latch shut, and I continued to be gentle with it. Now, it latches very smoothly and easily. I would cringe if I have to bring my bike to a dealer for anything. Those guys don't care about your bike. It's not their bike, and they probably don't get paid enough to care.
