Broken release lever on saddle bag- how do I get in now?
Help!!
2021 RTL
Left side saddlebag release lever snapped off. It was unlocked and very little pressure.
How do I get in now?
We are away for the weekend and all our clothes are in there!!
Short of an easy fix with basic tools (in the rain... BTW), what do I do to get in when I get home and have a shop full of tools?

If it's anything like the earlier RTs, you can access the cables and mechanism by removing the big panel that wraps around the trunk area.

Reach up between the bag and the body. there is the latch cable with a tensioning nut on it . turn it to loosen the cable until you can apply pressure to the bag and it will just fall open. Then get the dealer to replace the latch mechanism under warranty. Happened to me in October.

Mine were stuck so I knew not to get to aggressive pulling the levers so I used the palm of my hand and very very forcefully push on the side case and It released. I'm going to grease the latches as its not the lever-its the latch mechanism is not lubricated at all.

Mine did same thing. There is a bulletin to replace part of the latch under warranty. Had mine fixed at dealer, if that helps any.
