I bought my 2009 America with less than 450 miles on it. It came tricked out with Triumph windshield, toolbag, and large saddlebags. I now have hit the 1,000 mile point and have only used the saddlebags to carry a couple 16 oz. sodas and some snacks when I go to work. I noticed little silver things in the bottom of the bag and found that the rivets holding the bags onto the strap are falling off. I am not carrying any kind of load in there and for them only riding a thousand miles, that's pretty poor performance. I am now trying to use pop rivets and washers to replace the missing rivets because I don't want to buy a new set of bags. I may wind up using small nuts and bolds with washers to fix them. At least you don't see the rivets from the outside. I am really disappointed that Triumph put their logo on something so cheap.
