Vintage BMW Motorcycle Owners

I didn't know someone has the keys available
I replaced my locks with ones that Danny ( Bluemoonscotter) used on his repo enduro bags 2 years ago
They work and look ok but are not original
I did save my old ones and may order the keys

Can't wait to refinish my bags

I was able to talk to the guy who has the keys yesterday. Nice gentleman. Said he picked up a bunch of keys from an elderly man who had them for years. After we confirmed it was the correct key for the Enduro Bags I bought one. He said he two more left.

Tommy ..... it looks like you have the original stripes. This is the first time I have seen the stripes on the lids. Very interesting.

He sent me a photo of his own bags and he had the same stripes.

Thanks Tommy ....

Here are the photos Mike sent me. He said the pin strips are original. The real McCoy. If you bought a key there is only one left. I will let you know how the key works in my system when I get it.

Does anyone know where I can find the "trim" to the lid? I have a different trim on each bag. Id like to match them up. I couldn't find anything at the auto stores.

Also, Im looking for a two filament tail light for the bags. I need to swap out the socket so I can have running as well as brake lights.

Just ordered a key from Mike today
1 left
Very nice person to deal with
My pinstripes are blue in the middle
He said someone colored them in, maybe had a blue frame
Anyway the pic he sent you are the original confiquration
He said it was ok to forward the pics
Also thanks to Stagewex for site to purchase the key
I do like the stripes on my lids and not sure at this point if I will renew them

Autobody, Glass shop for the trim??

Found these on Oreilly autoparts website
1st pic looks best $2.99
May need small mod to cutoff tab on side
2nd pic small mod to base $ 5.69

Due to the size of the bulbs in the Enduro bags I couldn't find a replacement socket. Being 6 volts doesn't help either.

On a good note .... I finally got my Enduro Bag KEY and it works. Now I can lock the lids down so they won't blow off. Yippie.

Yep, Having that key is "key".

As I said earlier my bags came with a dual socket for the for the rear lights
It was modified
I now think my bulb socket is original and I now understand what the previous owner did to make it work

Not a great job but now know how I would do it better
Is this pic the same as your bulb socket??
If so I can tell you how modify it

You will be happy to have a brake light and running light for each sadddlebag !!
In my case I have a brake light and direction light and will then add a LED light for my running light

I did get my key today and it does work well
If one thinks $30.00 is pricey for the key then try to find another top Lid
They have to be locked when riding but also need to have a good safety strap if the lid does become unlatched

hi
i make myself LED for our BMW Saddle Bags
look photos

you can buy LED festoon , must be

6 for 6 volt bikes instalation
or
12 volts for 12 volt instalation

for stop light you can install directly
for park light you must put resistor ..like pictures

try resistor 100 - 400 ohms cca 1/2 w

Yes, that is what mine looks like. Love to hear how to modify it to a 6V dual filament light bulb.
