I was pretty amazed myself. Unfortunately with my bags popping open while riding, I did the police lid conversion so it's one handed and I don't have to get off my bike. Next year I'll probably buy a set of the 2014 lids.

No, not everyone in California, but there are a few. In every state actually, just read through the threads.
While I don't unlock the saddlebags, I always unlatch the Tour-Pak just for this very reason of taking the pressure off the springs.

Same reason I jack up my f-150 to release spring pressure...and I unload and reload my Springfield 1911. I am scared to use my click-it ink pen....because I do not know if the sping has been compresed or depressed. What the hell....light bulbs are under spring pressure!!! REMOVE AND RE-INSTALL YOUR LIGHT BULBS!!!!
