John sure made a simple and elegant solution. I will be doing that to mine too when I finally get the bags mounted.

Ive engraved my details on the underside of the bag so if it does dislodge hopefully a kind member of the public could return it.
I do not have useful advice, but will post my experience for what it's worth. V100 panniers have the same history. First ride from taking delivery I made a re-newbie rider error and let it tip over on a very uneven driveway, off the pavement edge and onto a dip in the gravel shoulder. and scraped the left bag loose, causing a bit of damage to one of the retaining knobs of the pannier.View attachment 34847View attachment 34849
I have looked a the above information. Noting this was discussed around the 23 Feb to 18 Jun 2023.
Recently (March 2024) after I was riding my V85TT (had driven around 10,000km total) and I stopped to note that my right side pannier was gone. Next day my son was rising along the side road and found the pannier. It was approximately of it fell 50km off my ride. So this is a real issue.
I have tried to work out how the pannier could have fallen off the pannier but can not work that out. The pannier fell off with the key locked in position and the catches in position.
Off course I am now unsure that I can trust the pannier from not falling off in the future.
Would appreciate any advice.
I can attest Johnās safety mod is cheap, quick and easy to incorporate . The peace of mind is worth it.I saw the comment from John in PA and I can see how fitting the Safety Coupler will work (fitted on the bottom). I will try that.
Thanks everybody.
