I must be lucky. I hear about it often but it has never happened to me. No lube, no adjustment but I don't slam it shut.

Cable came out of position and would not open rear trunk lid. Harley says to take off right tire and fender and go thought hole to fix problem. Forget doing all that when it is a lot easier to cut 2" hole in floor and take long screwdriver and push cable back in place then open trunk lid, and anchor cable into its place with zap straps. Next just cut aluminum plate to cover hole and screw in place. That was a lot easier to do, at least it was for me and if you have another problem with the lock you already have a access hole there.
If you examine all the parts that used for that lock and handle It’s akin to a Rube Goldberg contraption... Just look at the lock and handle on a Pennsylvania Dutch homeowners Barn that’s what Harley should be using just make the handle a little fancier and be done with it
Just 2 moving parts...

Had this problem on my 16. Dealer adjusted the latch & I watched. Closed much easier & 46,000 miles later , no prob. When I got the 20, I adjusted the latch & have not had a prob, so far. Never slam.

I liked this idea. So I put it together today. My rear door fell open shortly after purchased. I lubed the push button and it never happened again. However, It was now embedded in my brain that it could fall open again at some point. so this eased my mind for sure. Thanks for the Idea!
Had to cut bungie to make customize fit. Use a small zip tie on the end of the bungie cord to prevent spring from coming off.

This seems what caused the door problem on my neighbor's 2016 Tri. We'll just finish installing the brake pads and black rhino wheels on his Colorado before we check his Tri. Hope it's just the spring.
I'm not one for slamming anything because of the consequences. I total agree with you on that. Mine fell open that one time and I probably had it 3 weeks at the time. I lubed the push button and that fixed it up till this point in time. I just added the spring/bungie for my own mental state of mind. And it was fun installing it.

I lube ours every spring no issues 09'. You have to maintain or have someone maintain it easy. Remember if it's a Harley you must pay attention or they will get your attention $$$$. Ride safe Fred
