Saddle Bags Lock, not a big fan of it.

I did it. It's not that bad.

You have to pull everything apart to get to the lock cylinder.
Once you get the lock cylinder out, you have to disassemble it.

Then finally you can pull the center section with the tumblers out of the housing.

No you will see there is one slot that allows the key to be removed...you need to make a second one.

I used a Dremel with a butt and made short work of it.

It works absolutely great.

Can you describe what it took to disassemble the tumbler? Is there any chance of the pins falling out?

The saddle bag lock can be disabled by disconnecting the left and/or right cable ends from the latch mechanism. You can do one side or both. Simple and easily reversible.

Yes but I am looking for a description on what it takes to modify the tumbler. I understand the tumbler needs to be disassembled and a slot needs to be cut. That is what I am looking for direction.
