Hey All,
One of my handles broke on the side hardcase. When looking up the parts on www.kawaskipartshouse.com (http://www.kawaskipartshouse.com) it says the part is N/A. Anyone know a part number or somewhere else that I can buy a replacement?
-
I believe the part numbers are:
27016-5355 (Left)
27016-5356 (Right)
-
'09 (comes with lock tumbler installed)
27016B 27016-5355 LOCK-ASSY,SIDE BAG,LH 1
27016C 27016-5356 LOCK-ASSY,SIDE BAG,RH 1
$283 each
'10 & up (lock tumbler shipped loose, so you can use your old one, but it must be removed, and destroys the old latch mechanism, somewhat, but it's fixable with pop rivets... does not damage key tumbler tho.)
27016A 27016-5361 LOCK-ASSY,SIDE BAG,LH 1
27016B 27016-5362 LOCK-ASSY,SIDE BAG,RH 1
$335 each
both the above come with keys cut to the tumbler set that comes in the kit,
best price would be to find the correct side bag (the latches are different from side to side) on ebay, or here in parts for sale, that has been scratched by a minor fall, and buy the complete bag, and swap the whole thing out... but it has to come with a key....
instructions for removing and replacing latches, and lock, per the OEM retrofit from RED latch models to Orange latch (genric instructions) are attached below..

Boy just looked up on ebay and they want to rape you for one of the side bags. $400+. I assume they just don't sell the handle assembly?

Did you read either my post or MAN OF BLUES post? We both gave you part numbers for handles.

Yes sorry, didn't mean to not give props for chiming in and the info. Just a bit shell shocked looking up the price for the damn thing. Almost $300.
-
Some folks on the Forum's have damaged bikes and will sell the bags or parts.
Probably best option is to look for one of those.
Ride safe, Ted

Thanks. I carry so much stuff I need both side bags and the top case. Helmet storage in top case and lunch, Rain gear and jacket in side case and gym bag in the other. I had to take off the side bags for the sake of not looking goofy. LOL

yeah, I included the price for them in my post with the numbers... if you didn't believe me, well, all I could do was give you that...
some of us are here to help ya, whether you read our posting or not...
reading something posted as was, you should be able to understand that.
:banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :deadhorse: :deadhorse:
maybe scroll back up there, and download and read the attachment I made to that post, showing exactly how to replace the bag latch... so you don't have to ask a second time, and I didn't waste my time posting it for you.
best of luck, ride safe

I did see that but since I was unaware of the actual part price I had to look them up myself to realize that was the price just for the handle assembly and not the whole bag. I then went to ebay to see if anyone was selling one off a damaged bag, searched through the "For Sale" section here and posted in the wanted section. I also did see your attachment which helped. My bike is a 2009 so I do not think they are covering that part but I will research it further. I do greatly appreciate the input it did help considerably. Now I just have to take out a second mortgage to buy that part. LOL You think that would be the price of the whole side bag and not just the handle. SMH they get you one way or the other.

I've said it before- I bet if you build a vehicle ENTIRELY from "parts" purchased from a dealer, you would end up spending $1,000,000 or something insane. This is one reason it is so easy to "total" a vehicle, especially an "older" (as if several years is "old") motorcycle. The parts and labor quickly exceed the blue book. If your vehicle was low mileage, and/or unique, and/or in great/perfect condition, then you are truly screwed because there is no way you can get something anywhere near close to ACTUALLY "replacing" your vehicle for "blue book". I am pretty much always in that state with all my vehicles. They would expect me to end up with some used thing, in much worse condition, probably not the color and options I had, with totally unknown maintenance and issues.

When I broke that little orange plastic piece, I did a craigslist search , found two complete black bags for $400. they look fine on my silver bike ;)
The guy had his bike repossessed and his bags were off at the time.
I found my LSL handlebars the same way , craigslist is your friend.
-
Will look at craigslist and offerup thanks for the suggestion
-
What I do whenever searching start with craigslist, then add keywords concours zg1400 bags for sale then bingo ... so simple.
