hey guys,
i got in a set of Corbin Beetle Bags for my 2017 roadster gloss black with red stripes.
the bags installed great, and they look great, but locks on these bags are almost (not fully) plastic junk. the first time i tried to lock one the locking mechanism wouldn't hold and the other locking mechanism just seized up and wouldn't turn. for $2000 i expected much better than this!
i took them apart, lubed up all the pieces (used a lot of lube) and put them back together. the one lock still won't hold locking mechanism so that one doesn't lock. but i did get the other one (the one that was siezed up to work). again, for $2000 i expected much better than this!
called corbin to see what could be done, got pushed to a rep that never answered his phone, 3 times! the receptionist said that's the only locks the bags come with, "no other metal ones to upgrade to" again. the last call the receptionist didn't even pick up the phone. i'll bug them again tomorrow. again, for $2000 i expected much better than this!
ok, i'll stop my ranting, actually i hope someone from corbin reads this and will fix the issue, hint, hint.
anyways, the point of my post is does anyone know where i can buy "generic metal "cam lock" like the ones used on cubards that could possibly be substituted for? the plastic locks they give look pretty standard.
thanks!
