saddle bag latch
« on: July 11, 2005, 06:53:13 PM »
after about 500 miles  my right saddlebag does not unlatch easily.
there are 2 hooks and it seems to be the one on the right when your trying to undo the lid.   Any Ideas?

Dallas, I haven't personally experienced it but have read that they are adjustable.

Are we talking the actual latch, or the key lock?  I had a binding when turning the key lock, just had to slightly bend the tab that the key cylinder finger slides under.  If it is the actual latch, I suggest you look at the "fingers" of the two halves of the latch.  They are bendable - that's how you adjust them - and you may have inadvertantly bent one or more of them.  I also had to make this adjustment on mine by straightening two of the fingers.
