They can do the same to get into the bag, steal the contents, and/or remove the bolt and steal the bag.

If you watch the video it clearly shows that the "security system" offered has nothing to do with the removal of the bags. It is designed ( at least as evidenced by the video ) to keep the tops locked and there is already a device in play that does that. As stated earlier, it appears to be redundant.

Well in they want my stuff that bad, I guess I'm screwed either way. I got them bolted on and locked. If they are willing the break the lock they are willing to break the bag... Of course with the leather bags there are no locks and I have never had a problem with those either??? Charmed life I guess...

I like the feture that it converts my 2011 bags to open like the 2014+ (when you install the claw hinge) so I can open and close my bags at a stop light and not have to get off my bike to do it. The older bags just suck to open and close with one hand.
The extra security is a bonus for me.

Yes, the saddlebags are different before and after 2014......and your lock works great for the newest ones....but i think everyone is asking....did you change the pins that go between the saddlebags and the bike....those pins are also essily removed with a screwdriver.....yes opening the top of the bags are a great deterrent BUT not if they can steal your whole bags........

I changed the pins and the lock , with the old style bags they can pop the pins with a screw driver and also pop the lid open with a screw driver , now they can't do either.
