Has anybody found a tool or a way to modify the plug in to make it easier to remove. I'm thinking about gluing a piece to grab onto on top of the plug where you pull up on it. Thoughts?
-
Mines comes apart pretty easily. . What kind of problem are you having. .
-
You need to look at how the plug is constructed. It has a small release over the post. Very easy to release, just grip, squeeze and pull. My wife was fighting with ours until I showed her and now she has no problem. Just look it over again.

I must me doing something wrong. I grab the top piece and pull but it's way tight and there isn't much to grip on. Do you pull up on the front the sides?
-
if it is the same as my 13 RG, its a rectangle shape plug, on the top & bottom (smaller sides of the plug) there are push tabs, with thumb and index finger push them in as you pull and whala its released
-
The upper and lower sections have a clip that you squeeze to release. Same as any automotive type electrical connector. You cannot just grap them and pull them apart, you must release the retainer first
-
Mine have a top tab you have to pull up on and that separates the plug as you pull it up. I can't get a grip on the top piece! It drives me nuts lol.

Take a picture of your connector and post it. All these have a place where you squeeze just a bit before pulling the two halves apart. Post a pic and someone will edit it with a big bright arrow showing where to squeeze.

the new style are different, must of started in 2015 on the Boom Stage 2 equipped SG. The connectors have a yellow tab on the top that as up pull up, a cam shaped lever on the side rotates and ejects the plug from the bag mounted receptacle. That yellow tab has nothing to grab ahold of and can be tough to get started. It would be a good design if I could get it to work without tearing of fingernails.
I hated the old style, those connectors had two tabs you had to squeeze and then pull apart. I always managed to draw blood taking the bags off.

I have a 15 limited and it is just a wire hanging there with no receptacle. I just squeeze the connector and pull it apart, nice and easy.

The connectors changed for the 16 model year. You have to pull up on the yellow tab, which releases the connector. Much easier than the previous versions in my opinion.

With the tab pulled up

Thanks very much for the pic. Hadn't had a chance to see that one yet. Thank god never stop learning.
That thing looks simple enough. Of course that doesn't mean something can't be hung up on any particular unit.

There's nothing to grip onto! The top part is the same size as the bottom so you can't get your fingers on just the top unless you have long finger nails. I'm thinking a wider piece glued on top would give you something to grip onto.
-
1roadking, I think you just need to open yours and put a dab of dielectric grease in there. I put it in mine anyway but for you to say there is nothing to grab etc. then you are definitely having a problem with this, so maybe the grease will help.
Mine when you squeeze the clip will almost fall apart. It is a one-handed affair, I hold the top open with one hand and squeeze and seperate the connector with the other hand.

So the right side bag uses a smaller plug and it is night and day easier. Now that I have Proaction shocks instead of premium ride, I don't have to pull the left saddlebag often. I like the dialectic grease idea though:)
