2008 KAWASAKI CONCOURS 14 Latcheslockslinkages Problems

LEFT SADDLE BAG FELL OFF MOTORCYCLE AND WAS HIT BY FOLLOWING VEHICLES. THANKFULLY NO ONE WAS INJURED BUT THE BAG WAS DESTROYED. KAWASAKI REFUSED TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY EVEN THOUGH THE BAG HAD LAST BEEN ATTACHED BY A TRAINED SERVICE TECH. *TR

THE "HARD BAGS" OR LUGGAGE HAVE FAULTY LATCHES THAT FAIL WHILE IN OPERATION RESULTING IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION TO MOTORISTS. *TR

MY 2008 KAWASAKI CONCOURSE 14 HAD THE LEFT SADDLE BAG FALL OFF WHILE RIDING, LUCKILY IT WAS A RURAL ROAD AND I DID NOT INJURE ANYONE BEHIND ME. HOWEVER, IT COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS HAD IT FALLEN OFF ON THE FREEWAY. I HAVE HEARD OTHER REPORTS OF THIS HAPPENING ON 2008 KAWASAKI C-14S AND BELIEVE THE FACTORY SHOULD RECALL THIS DEFECTIVE LATCH MECHANISM. *TR

I HAVE A 2008 KAWASAKI CONCOURS14, AND THE LOCKING MECHANISMS ON ONE OF MY HARD BAGS HAS FAILED. THE MOTORCYCLE ONLY HAS 2,100 MILES AND THERE ARE MANY REPORTS ON THE INTERNET OF INDIVIDUALS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND THE BAGS FALLING OFF AS THEY GO DOWN THE HIGHWAY. *TR

HARD SADDLE BAGS LOOSE ON MOTORCYCLE. LATCH MECHANISM BINDS WHEN RETRACTING SADDLEBAG SECURING HOOK. UPON INSPECTION OF LATCH, ONE OF THE PINS WITHIN THE LATCH WAS FOUND TO BE SHEARED OFF. *TR
