Has anyone else have a lock on a Givi fail? Mine will no longer open up. 7 years is pretty good use of it though....

Mine is 10 yrs old and still working fine...as for the smell of the inside....

The latch on my Givi trunk gave up the ghost earlier this year - I've been going trunkless while I enjoy my nerdy experiment of having a ham radio antenna attached to my rear rack.

Managed to bend the red plastic bit that is in front of the lock so now the key will fit again. Bit of wiggling and I bet I can get it to open again...

Thank you for the memory! I had some friends who were CB users, back when i lived in NH. One of them (Dan, if you're out there, hi!) used to like to play "tag" by using a SWR meter to find the rest of us. I decided to be a funny guy and mount my rig on my '85 Puch Maxi. He had the hardest time finding me, since I could take that little Puch to places his truck couldn't hope to go.

FYI, you can purchase a new lock set for your Givi case. I did so when I was unable to purchase a second key for an obsolete model, but definitely needed two copies of the key. So I replaced the lock with a new one from Givi, which came with two keys.
