Removing the saddlebag locks
Would you rather have

I will look at it
A remote would be cool, until the battery dies and you're SOL.
Ditto. That is the simplest solution. Having the ability to lock or unlock the bags and pull the key out in either position. Besides the inconvenience it was too easy to leave the key dangling back there and walk away. Out of sight out of mind.Quote:

Actually almost the easiest and as most people are disabling the locks anyway would be to dismantle the lock and remove most if not all of the wafers so the key will come out in the unlock position then at least you cam give some semblance of locking it
I had the lock apart today and its really an easy task
I've never done that (3 or 4 times...:icon_redface:)Quote:

On the wing I made key knobs for the fuel door and the right fairing lock pocket. I don't even remove them. Looks like just some more farkles unless you know about wings.
That is what I did. However, I would rather have the ability, on the bag lock, to simply remove the key when I want the bags unlocked. Stupid Honda engineering in my humble opinion.Quote:

To me, #2 would be just as much a pain in the a$$ as what we have now. I like to be able to walk out in the garage and open my bags without any key involved. I just want to be able to lock or unlock the bags and remove the key in either position. JMHO. My little radio knob is the best solution for me if I cannot remove the key in the unlocked position.
Anything to keep me from walking away from the bike with the key still in the bag lock! I did it twice today, I'm such a dumbass........lol
One option that has worked well for me is to disable the lock on one side. This allows one side for quick access with no key but still have the second side if you want to lock something up.
What would be the difference between walking with the key (made with knob) in the lock or leaving the bag open all the time? I leave my key in the lock, it will not start the bike, and if I am at the motel, I lock the lock and take it out. This is the same as leaving it unlocked and locking at the motel for the night.
Option #2 will be nice.
perhaps you could start a poll to see what everyone else would prefer.
#1 option (remote control) would be sweet, if it could be done with minimal cost.
I must admit the locks can be a pain.
i keep my extra key in my pocket becuse just about every time i start to warm my bike up
i have to shut it down to get somthing.
Also if im going on a good ride i just leave the spair key in the trunk hole.
Get a spare key, cut the head off and glue it to a knob to make one of these. It makes life much easier.Quote:
