I had the same problem, and I drilled 2 small holes through both velcro pieces and the saddlebag wall. Then, I ran a black zip tie through all six holes, as your in the process of wrapping the velcro strap around the saddlebag bracket. Fasten the zip tie on the inside of the saddlebag,cut off the excess, no more problems. I have the large triumph leather bags mounted on the chrome factory brackets.
