HighAngleHell Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Is there a method to removing the red tab? I have a damaged system case from a 2003 RT and am attempting to salvage all usable parts from it. Any help would be much appreciated. DH Link to comment
DavidEBSmith Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Typically the whole locking mechanism comes out as a unit. You have to drill out the rivets that hold it on from the inside of the case, then the hook mechanisms have little keepers that are held in place with a pin that you have to tap out with a skinny punch, then the whole box comes off as a unit. Beyond that, there is a part number for the components of the locking mechanism (multi-function box), see http://www.maxbmwmotorcycles.com/fiche/ShowNotes.asp?pn=71607654337, so somehow the box must come apart.

David R Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Once you drill the heads off the 7 rivets, and punch out the pins the locking assy will come out. Then drill 5? more rivets. Remove the 2 pieces of plastic trim, and the lock will come out. I had one re keyed. Took me 1/2 hour to get the lock out. Now all my locks take the same key. There are gaskets under each of the 7 rivets. David Link to comment
