The seals on both side cases have torn away from the bags at the lower left corner (as you look at the case) on both. This happened within two weeks of me picking up the bike. I just opened the cases one day and the seals had pulled away from the case. Anyone else have this happen? Just curious.

Duck,
That's happening to mine as well. So far I have just pushed them back on when it happens. I'm thinking about using a dab of silicone sealant at the seam to see if that works.

Mine have done the same thing. Repeated attempts at getting them to stay in the channel didn't help without some black RTV type sealant.

seals-1
seals-2
seals-3

I was hoping the small bead of silicone would secure 'em in place. I'll get with my favorite Buell parts person tomorrow on another issue and and ask about this as well. I'm not worried about it...Buell has ALWAYS come though for me. 100% satisfied.

Thanks DAve. That is the same deal as mine. I am also not worried. I was just curious if anyone else was having this problem.

That's an accurate statement. Smart people are hard at work on this, have identified the problem and will be in touch to make the correction.

Stay tuned.
