so the portion of the bag where the latch hooks onto has broken off. I guess you could describe it as the lip on the movable portion of the case--the one that drops perpendicular to the bike to load your stuff in.
anyways has anyone had this issue or have any suggested repair ideas or a right side bag!!

If it's the journey bag is a common failure you can buy the latch from hepco & becker.

That's a new one...the bag "case" is one piece.

Maybe fab a piece of metal and rivet it in place?

Or...there's the "bungee across the seat to the other bag lid" method...

I have a brand new one still in the unopened packaging ... $35 shipped to the continental US (I paid more than that when I bought it).

I purchased two when mine broke. One for a spare, not using the Journey Bags any more so I don't need it.

Also selling my bags if someone is interested make me a offer via PM.

He didn't break the latch. He broke the bag.

You can get pretty much any part from the US distributor (capitol cycle or something like that). Expect crappy service and crappier communication from them, that was my experience.

Same here as Reepicheep on capitol cycle, waited 3 weeks for latches, but I finally got them....American Sportbike might be able to get them as well.
