Hi Gang -
So, my "new" 1985 K100 came with both paniers and the 22L top case from the previous owner. When I got the K, it spent a lot of time in the garage in pieces so I didn't think much about the cases. I recently pulled the top case off the shelf in the garage and tried to open it... without any luck. It appears to be locked but my ignition key doesn't unlock it. Since it's an 85 and the paniers have those weird style Gen1 keys (which I have one of) I also tried that one, no luck.
Any idea how to pop open this top case? I'd love to be able use it. Maybe i'm doing something wrong with the way I'm trying to open it? Stick the key in and twist is what I thought, but perhaps there is some magic trick?
Any help is much appreciated!
Thanks,
Pac
