[QUOTE="JamesK, post: 669317, member: 1858"] Absolutely critical that the bags can be locked, otherwise you'd just buy soft luggage. I too have never found it a "big deal" re-start the bike, but I guess it an issue for some :unsure: What I've seen one enterprising FJR owner ([B][URL="https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php?showuser=5047"]bob-st[/URL][/B]) do is: 1. he got a couple of spares made 2. chopped off the key ring part and glued a small radio style knob to the remaining stub 3. this way whenever he's "with" the bike he keeps one of these stubby keys in each bag lock, so he can simply turn the knob to unlock/lock the bags 4. yet can quickly and easily pull them out for when he needs to walk away from the bike. 5. the stubby keys with the knobs have a very low profile so there is no chance of catching them with you boot or gear. This is a cheap, quick, simple and very cleaver solution IMHO. [/QUOTE]
