    If you did away with the saddlebag locks how would you like it to work

    Working on some product options

    Removing the saddlebag locks

    Would you rather have

    1. A remote control
    2. A hidden button that unlocks the bags but only when the ignition is on
    3. A system that locks and unlocks with the ignition

    That's easy

    Pull the lock cylinder and remove the holder

    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.

    I've never done that (3 or 4 times...)

    I agree! How can we make that happen? I think I would simply leave bags unlocked most of the time and just lock them when parked at night while on a trip.

    Been playing with it this afternoon and its not a slam dunk however I do it

    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

    Is my bike different than everyone elses. My key comes out with the bags open.
    Avatar is a photograph I took July 4th 2009 of a flag and cannon located on Freeman's Farm at Saratoga National Park in Stillwater, New York. A location of a Revolutionary battle field and an American victory over the British in the Autumn of 1777. Let us give thanks to all Veterans past and present for their sacrifice.

    The key comes out but when you close the bags they are locked. We want to be able to pull the key out when it's in the horizontal position. Then you won't need the key every time you want to open the bags.
