I know this is an old topic but it still pisses me off as there's a guy on HD forums with a new Freewheeler that can't open his trunk.Not a member and won't join so can't help.So this morning after my sunrise ride I determined that I would resolve this nonsense once and for all-maybe.Looking at the striker,cable and locking latch there's no way really to open the trunk by attacking these parts.Do this.Open trunk lid.Facing forward with the lock jaws assembly on the right bulkhead-depress locking jaws with your finger to simulate the striker.Now reach over the plastic cover with your left hand toward the front bulkhead and down back.Feel the end of the cable which is the locknut #5 in the parts diagram-which Im unable to post.Push locknut in-toward you.Presto-it unlocks.Now to figure out which is the best way to access this locknut with a closed trunk????
