I will have to turn the key back to verticle and then horizontal again to pull the handle and engage the release cable. Sometimes I have to do this two or three times.

My bike has been custom-painted as you can tell, which means the saddlebags were taken off their stays and painted. Could it be that they aren't exactly to stock, keeping the release cable from engaging?

It's getting aggravating and I'm gonna have to pull my seat to see what's what.

Any other ideas?

I really don't get why people want to mess around with a bike that's on warranty. I know there's a big hate on for dealers but if you screw it up trying to fix it then I can guarantee the dealer won't cover your screw up on warranty. I can also guarantee that the dealer will be run down for not covering what was screwed up by the customer in the first place. Not o on a rant but I trust my dealer 100% to be treated fairly and to have my bike fixed right when needed.
