VFR-SPORT

Anybody looking for OEM rear shock for 2012 VFR1200F? I have one that is clean, preload adjuster works well. New Brunswick, Canada. Contact for more info

Ok, one step closer. I was fiddling around with the bags today and lo and behold I found this lock mechanism bar hiding in the bag. Now to determine how it connects to the bottom of the keyset. The hole in the bar is too small to fit over the bottom of the keyset. I got one side but the other side is being elusive!!!!

Not sure where this images came from but interesting.

Ok, I cannot see or feel the latch/lock mechanism whel I look/feel in the hole. Wish I had one of those inspection cameras. Are we sure they are made by Givi? I will give them a call anyway.

I understand the premise behind what you are saying but the stopper tumbler doesn't seem to be long enough to activate the locking mechanism plus the inner key set fits into a sleeve that then slides into the bags. Just wondering if there is a tab that attaches to the bottom of the key set although it doesn't come as part of the key set. In post 8, if you go to the NC700 link, it says the stopper tumbler only holds the inner key set in the outer sleeve. It also shows a tab, which they call a latch. It, I presume, locks the handle, but is different than the 800 bags.

Ok, now I don't suppose you have the part number for that tab or supply a picture from a microfiche? Thanks.

Yes, as far as I know they are the same, mount wise and size wise, but because of the wave key setup, the locksets are different.

Thank you. I have both the "Installation Instructions" for the VFR1200 and the VFR800 (which the bags are from) and understand how they assemble and fit into the key hole. I still to not understand how the key set, once inserted, interacts with the lock plate to lock both handles. Is there a tab that fits onto the bottom of the lockset that pushes the lock plate to activate the lock mechanism?

I see on the NC700 setup there is a "tab" that attaches to the bottom of the keyset that rotates. I wonder if there is a part I'm missing that is not part of the keyset itself????

I just uploaded 3 pictures to my gallery of the luggage without the key sets to show the mechanism. In the closeup picture, under the small shiny spot, is a lever that seems to lock into the 2 handles. I'm not sure how the key set interacts with this lever. Will try to link the images into this post later.

No problem. I am going to contact Honda Canada to see if they can explain.

Ok, I already have this. This is for the VFR1200 bags and key sets. I have the bags from a 2014 VFR800, which uses a wave key setup. The keyset, once tumblers are put together, fits into a sleeve then inserts into the bags. Still does not answer the question of how it activates the lock mechanism. I will posts some pictures later.

I have a slightly damaged set of 2014 VFR800 bags without the key sets. I have purchased the key set parts and a spare blank key. I still cannot figure out how the key set locks/unlocks the handles after inspecting the hole where the key set insert into. I see under the handle how the handles can lock but not how the key set connects to the mechanism that locks/unlocks. Any and all info would be greatly appreciated.Thanks. They panniers/bags fit perfectly on the 1200.
