It looks like a gazillion posts are on here re the saddlebag issue. Just got to 4,400 miles on my 2010 NT, and the right bag won't open. I pull the latch a few dozen times, won't open.
On effort #58 (that's an estimate) it opens. Hmmm.
So I pry around on the receiver parts internally, it seems the right side is stiffer. I applied some lubricant, pressed it in and out a few dozen times. Closed the lid and....won't open.
Rinse and repeat time. This time after 5 minutes it opens again. I build up my nerve to close it again....sure enough, won't open. So I walked away from it before anyone (anything) got hurt.
After a quick perusal of this site, seems to be a lot on "here's a different latch system" approaches.
What about where I'm at? Any sunbursts of insight someone can share?
