I'm the new owner of a '96 ST1100. The saddlebags seem loose on the bike. I can move each bag away from the rear fender about an inch. Each bag is installed correctly on the upper rail, and the front tab is engaged securely at the latch. Hardware securing the mounting brackets is tight.
Mounting bolts on the upper part of the brackets use rubber collars. The rubber allows the brackets (and bags) to move. Question is how much should the bags move?
