    Question Remote saddlebag door release?

    Wondering if anyone has installed this and wants to give a review? Thinking about purchasing it.

    I bought them in the middle of last season. I won't ever go back! Install is pretty straight forward, no special tools needed. There is no adjustment calibration needed...100% bolt-on. If you don't like them for some reason, reversal is easy since you aren't doing anything permanent to the bike. Key fobs are nice and have a sliding cover for the buttons to prevent accidental deployment.

    The only negative at all would be that they can't be activated with a dead battery. As long as you have a lead for a charger installed (or you're able to remove the seat), there really isn't a reason not to have these.

    Once you install them, I take it that the manual latch releases no longer work?

    That would be correct. The actuator assembly mounts where the mechanism/door latch release mounts. Basically takes the place of the manual mechanism.

    Is there a voltage drain on the battery while the bike is stored for a long period; due to the remote receiver being tied in to the bike's power?

    I don't know what it might be ,but I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be enough to be concerned with. I mean how long a period are we talking about? Just about every car you buy has such features. Any battery can discharge if not maintained over long periods. I suppose Steve aka 53Driver might have more input. He has had his on for awhile.

    Do you know if anyone in Canada sells these as buying from the states means paying lots of Tax

    Installed it a few months back and have been really pleased. If battery is dead you can remove the seat and open bags manually or if you have a battery tender lead you can power it and you would have power to open the bags or if you have a trailer plug you can power through there. Several options to list a few if you have a dead battery and need in the side bags.
