Indian Motorcycle saddlebags for the Indian Chief are held in place by a plastic compression washer and an interior push handle secured by a metal pin. At times this pin has been known to fall out. Also the compression washers have been known to deteriorate. In addition sometimes the rider thinks he or she has secured the bag when, in fact it is not secured. When one of these things occur the saddlebag can fall off and ruin the bag. Osprey’s Security Spools prevent this from happening.
