Trunk Lock Fix

[bigbubba402]

It looks like I have finally found the fix for my trunk opening while going down the road. I found Iron head Tri-Glide trunk locks. I bought the latch assembly and installed on my Trike it seems to work great will know more for sure after riding this summer, but it appears to put a dependable lock assembly in the bike made out of metal not plastic opens and closes great with solid latching system so far i am happy. If you do get it plan on a couple of hours to install but well worth it. I originally found it on Facebook

I saw those on face book. How much does it cost?

I had the same problem but after I adjusted the pin and stopped slamming it shut I haven’t had it open while going down the road anymore.

What he said. No problems since 2016.

I've read about this, watched his videos and emailed him with some questions. Definitely think it will work but for me the drawbacks outweigh the benefits. I don't like the fact that it's actuated electrically and requires a key to open - it's always 'locked.' Don't like the emergency release in case of key loss or loss of power. It requires drilling a large hole in the body and the cable can break or come loose from the ferrule. I'll keep my stock lock mechanism adjusted and lubed. Have never had a problem with my '18 or now my '20 with combined mileage of almost 50k. jmho
