Hi Gaz
Apologies if this a sucking eggs exercise. www.classiccruiser.com (http://www.classiccruiser.com) has some pages on the multitude of K-Drive saddle bags avaiable and the xvs1300 is listed. It appears you should have a key to unlock the bags from the mounts (at least thats how it reads to me)
Cheers ... Mark

Of course, you could do the man thing and break out the angle grinder. Probably difficult to refit though..

Yep- lots of stolen bikes out there.  But you have receipts.
You do, don't you?    :grin

Have you asked the seller to try and locate the required key?
