    Classic saddle bags locking

    I got it, then had a serious look at what it would be like to lock and unlock the saddle, and it truns out that the saddle material is too soft to make it easy to use this type of locker. Then I sent it back to the vendor ! To me this lock kit is appropriate for heavy and pretty rigid leather.

    DNA air filter
