Has anyone tried these locks? They look a little flimsy.

May keep a real honest thief out, but that is questionable.

Damn good idea, though. I have wondered if anything similar was available.

 

Those look like the same type of lock that used to be made by "Lock Your Leathers" http://www.lockyourleathers.com/

I installed them on a couple of bikes but found the flexibility of the leather bags posed a potential problem for dependable day-to-day reliability. If the saddlebag is empty and the outer side is depressed somewhat, the wiper arm of the lock can slip outside and mar the leather exterior. Also, there's a protective metal bracket on the inside that could interfere with some items as you are packing your saddlebags.

They work all right, and the lock can be keyed to match your ignition lock, but my preference is to forget them next time around. I'll just try to make certain nothing vital is stored in my saddlebags when I'm leaving my bike unattended.
