Need help identifying small spring
The other day I noticed that my left saddlebag lock wasn't working properly. The jam nut and saddlebag cam were missing, but I did find a small spring (see attached pics) inside the saddlebag. Does anyone know where this spring might go? Looking at the saddlebags parts diagram I'm not seeing it.

Thank you for responding, but that is not the spring I found.
Maybe the spring I found is for some other vehicle or product. I'll just save the part for now.

Had the same thing happen while in Loconia for the rally. It is the spring for the lock. If you look on the inside of the latch you will see the threaded part of the lock coming through the latch. The spring goes on that threaded peice then the new L shaped lock arm then the nut. If you look on the other lock you can see it. The large end of the spring goes on towards the latch. I used blue locktite on the nut so hopefully it won't happen again. Hope this makes some sense to you. Easy 15 minute fix if your local Dealer has the latch lever and the nut.
