I have replaced my left side pannier for a 1150rt type ,now that my silencer (muffler ) as been replaced with a small pipe. What I want to do now is change the locking barrel so I have one key fits all.
HOW do you do this????????????????

Nip over to Rainbow and get the lock barrel kit. You just swap out the internals to suit your key number.

Here's a link to a page that will show you how to change the lock wafers

Thanks Mick. I have just done this in about half an hour. I now have a matching lock set - bike and sidecases.
I was left with one wafer from each barrel which I am keeping along with a diagram of the original case lock. I can change it back to its old key if I ever sell them off seperately from the bike. Brilliant tip....
