Dealerships will and do change the barrels to code to your ignition key, how easy and how much I do not know. Maybe a call to the dealership



Different thing I know but, I recently swapped the hole mechanism off my vario top box to another identical looking vario due to a bike sale and me wanting my sticker memories for my new purchase that was easy peasy three screws.

It's really easy. You just need the right wafers. You might even get away with swapping them around, I did.

won't come off

I have a problem with mine. Once I put them on, they are difficult to take off. Let me explain. I place the bag on the lower rail, then tilt it up so that the hole in the bag lines up with the "bolt" shaped object. I then pull the handle down and the u-shaped lock locks around the lower portion of the bolt.

When I try to remove, I raise the handle, but the u-shaped lock will not drop down from the bolt. When I compress the rubber that surrounds the lower rail and jiggle around, it comes off. Once I had to take a punch and hammer and tap down the u shaped lock. Maybe some lube?? What gives.

There's adjustment inside. Maybe they're too tight?
