    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Keys for Vetter Luggage???

I bought a set of Vetter luggage with mounting hardware for $3.71 at an estate auction. It's actually in pretty good shape. But there are no keys.

I could drill out the latches and replace them but the locks that hold the side bags on are something different.

Anyone know where I can get keys that might fit?
 
Ask on vetterowners.com
I don't think they're anything special, akin to office filing cabinet locks and barrels.
 
So I looked at the vetter owners site. Seems they tried to put together a stash of basic keys but the blanks were hard to find. So I looked more closely at the locks that hold the bags on. They're actually really easy to bypass. So if someone wanted to steal my luggage all they'd need would be a short Phillips screwdriver and a pocket knife.

The bags I bought though are nicer than my old ones so as usual I will count on the fact that nobody would want to steal my old junk.

I found some cabinet locks that look like they'll work as replacements for all the closures.

Will they also work for the locks that hold the saddlebags onto the racks ?

I think so. There's a little rectangle shaped piece of metal that screws on the part of the lock that is turned. If it will fit on the new locks then it should work. I have to find a more detailed description of the locks that are available.
