Yamaha are replacing the locks under the warranty but looks like my next trip this weekend is going to be without them as the locks wont be replaced in time.
I agree that the panniers look good and fit well. I just hope the problems I have had with the key breaking is not a design problem with the cases as they have potential to be quite good.

I've just done 8146 miles with mine, over every sort of road - even the ones in Romania, although road is a very loose term!
I had the same problem with my locks before going, stiff as hell, so I striped them down and gabe them a good coating of silicon grease, work much better now, still a bit stiff though.
Molgan - yep, I get that too, not so much of a problem with the boxes when there's not much in them, but it's a real ****** when they are full.
Having said that, they survived an off in Sweden (gravel - about 30km/h) and an absolute pounding in Romania/Greece, only a little bit of wear on one of the bottom mountin rubbers - pretty good!
I do fancy a set of Metal Mule's, maybe santa might be kind........
