Default New saddlebag and seat locks

Dunno if this has been posted already. Ran across them in the new issue of Bagger. Kinda pricey for the bag locks when there are alot cheaper alternatives for securing them. But I'm sure they will sell a few sets.

Just a little too pricey for me.
I'm good with the button head bolt idea.

Saw that also..sure like the idea but not the price, especially to import them up here.

I like a quick release so i can clean the wheel quickly.

I have the Gordon Lockdown saddlebag locks and seat lock. When discussing options with Johnny Gordon I learned that I could have the locks keyed to match my Harley ignition/saddle bag keys. Now that I have the Gordon system I don't have to use an allen wrench to remove the allen bolts I used to replace the stock twist pins. A simple 1/4 turn with my ignition key in the Gordon saddle bag lock and removal of one stock twist pin and the bag is off. This Gordon system is proving itself to be very popular, The owner and the parts manager at Oakland Harley in Cali. now uses them on his own bike and sells them. The Gordon saddle bag locks are as fast as the harley stock twist pins when removing the bag and when installed properly will keep your bags on the bike better then anything else out there even when you forget to lock your saddle bag lids. When the rain slows down a bit I'll venture out to the garage to get some pictures for you all.

Yep, I've posted them before & most responses were negative (too spendy). IMO, looks solid and if I lived in high-threat area they'd be on my bike. Right now, the Brukus kit works...maybe later I'll invest in Gordon Locks - seems like great quality!

Is seat and saddlebag theft that bad???? Been around bikes my whole life and never once seen or heard of it happening. I know that doesn't mean it don't happen.

Like said before a little to rich for my blood

Great quality had them on my 08 the only issue is that you need to drill a larger hole in your bag to attach the lock system so there is no going back after that and they must go with the bike if you sell it

Looks great, but I'm too cheap to spend $300+ dollars on something that a $1.50 bolt and U nut will do. I can live with the extra 4 seconds it takes me to remove a saddlebag.

PLUS ONE. Also I have been a LEO for 29 years in NYC and now part time in Florida, plus I ride with the Blue Knights. Besides here, I have never heard of saddle bags being stolen. The whole bike, yes just parts rarely and the saddle bags never. Not saying it doesn't happen, I just never saw it.
