Once more, I proved myself inept. Changed coolant and when I put the right pocket back in my inner voice said to remove it and double check the cable to make sure it's still attached. I, instead, closed it.

I now have a locked right pocket and ever increasing humility.

I tried to search for this topic but came up empty. How badly am I screwed? How painful will this be? Any advice wouild be more than welcome.

Hey Jess,

On a search I found this http://www.gl1800riders.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=135187&highlight=right+pocket+unlock#135187

Haven't done it yet myself. Emphasis on yet.

Thanks guys!

My son asked how long it would take for someone to reply and I told him to just wait a minute or two. Off by a little, but I'm amazed by this board.

Thanks again!

Someone posted photos just a week or so ago how to make a tool out of a coat hanger to reach in a grab the release to open the pocket. I will see if I can find them....

I could not get Bartman's pics to appear. On my '02 I have been able to trip the latch by reaching through the bolt holes under the right fairing trim strip. I use a thin bladed screw driver to reach in and rotate teh latch mechanism. Takes about 5 seconds once I stop cussing .

Add my name to the list. I didn't get the cable clip seated well enough on the door mechanism.
