Re: Pannier locks and keys

I have just got a R1150GS (2003) it came with two side panniers and a topbox all are BMW touring but i seem to have three different keys???

The ignition key - starts bike and open one side pannier
Key 2 opens other pannier
Key 3 opens top box

Is it possible to have the ignition key open all the panniers and topbox
If so how do i go about it??

Yes.

Easy option, take it to your nearest dealer.

Possible to do it yourself, try having a search.

pop into Bahnstormer near ALTON be very nice to them and they will key all three boxes to the ignition.... even if they charge it will not be much.. (they did not charge me!!!)

Motorworks do a lock repair kit so you can code the 2 boxes to ignition + box that has that key.

They're not expensive.

Dead easy to do yourself :

If you're just around the corner from me, come over and I'll do it for you.

Thanks all for your posts. I have contacted MOTORWORLD who are posting me a lock repair kit which will sort the pannier out but have been told the top box lock is completely different so will have to have seperate key which is a shame but never mind
