RD King Custom Saddle Lock
I just picked up my keyed saddle bag lock set for my RK Custom. After reading the instructions, it seems that you loose the use of the release button! I wish the dealer would have said that to me before I spent $70 on the kit.
Has anyone else installed the kit? Any thoughts?>

RE: RD King Custom Saddle Lock
I don't have an answer to your question, but I am glad you asked. I was about to order this part for my RK Custom, but had a few questions about it myself. So you are saying the latch button is useless once these are installed?
Thanks

Had the dealer install mine so I can not tell you how tough they are to install. The bag latches still work and keep the lid closed. The release button no longer works. You will need to push on the lock to open the bags. Glad to havemine installed. Now I can put things in there and it will make it a little more difficult for someone to steal the bags.

RE: RD King Custom Saddle Lock
I installed them on mine. I ordered them with the same key number as my ignition. As stated above, the lock becomes your release button. The kit gives you a plastic tie to keep the original lock from rattling after it’s disconnected.
I am glad I have them now and my only gripe would be is where the location of the locks because it’s hard to use the key at times in that tight area
