What about incorporating the Nitto Saddlebag Grip to move it back a bit? Might get some more breathing room with your SS Medium. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group. To view this discussion on the web visit

See earlier in this thread ( or maybe even an earlier thread). I had the same problem, and Loctite didn't solve it. But someone (don't remember who) said you just need to grind a little slot in the Bagman tubing, and it holds perfectly. Sent from my iPhone On Jun 7, 2012, at 8:19 PM,
