• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Saddlebag opens on highway/jacket lost

Seemed like a good idea after reading your plight! Used 7/16 metal framing screws and the tabs that came with the nets.

Sorry for tilt!

Edited to correct screw length.

Sorry for tilt!

Looks like the top section fits pretty snug in your pre 2020 saddlebag. I wonder how it will fit in my 2021 saddlebag. I don't think the dimensions changed (or at least not by much) but I'd like confirmation of that before I order.

I'd probably spread the hooks on the top section so I could "open it up" if needed. That way, If I had larger items in there, I would have good accessability.
 
wow. That is unfortunate. sorry. The locks on my bags look a little janky. They're kind of recessed and don't look like they're flush with the surrounding plastic. Does yours look like that? I have a 2020 and figured it was due to the fitment issues that I still need to have addressed when I get my seat replaced. I wonder if some fitment type issue is still present on the 21s...?
I keep an extra helmet in my right bag, and try to keep it locked. I don't want to open it one day and find out that the helmet is missing b/c I forgot to to take it out or lock the bag when the spyder is unattended.
This is added motivation to validate that. I will try to upload a photo of the lock and bag a little later.

The rear fitment issues are long gone. TBH, I'm not sure I've ever really looked at the locks. I reach down, pull the lever and open the saddlebag. I understand why BuRP moved the handles/locks on the 2020+ since not all have a trunk anymore but it's a bit inconvenient.
 
Monk, My RT is a 2020 so panniers are same as yours. I mounted the nets below center for ease of access. I crimped the lower hooks and left the uppers open enough to unclip if needed.

Perfect. I'll order a set today!
