I have exhausted the method in the owners booklet on how to detach the side cases . Seems like it should be easy enough .
1. Key in lock . Turn to release . Push down keyed button . Flap to open case flips up . Left carry handle and remove .
I am stuck on lifting handle . It will not budge . Either side. :banghead

I could use some input .
Thanks
 
Welcome to the forum!
You have gone past oilheads right to Wetheads :)
One of us Moderators will move it later so we don't lose you in cyberspace with a quick move.
Good luck.

Turn the key in the opposite direction, the carry handle pops up, lift and remove the case.
No button pushing, no flap lifting.
