Long story short, I might have locked my bike keys under the passenger seat, which obviously means I can't get them without the key. Does anyone have any recommendations besides getting a locksmith or something?

If you take of the seat, can you not take the rear section off enough to access the back side of the lock? You have 3 bolts under the seat and a couple by the passenger brackets.

The cable can be released from the lock and manually operated.

When you say "take off the seat" you're referring to the main seat correct? and when you say rear section do you mean the back part that surrounds the passenger seat? I can't take the back part off because one of the bolts for it is underneath the passenger seat

Yes main seat and the large rear plastic. I am aware of the bolt under the passenger seat.

I was just thinking that the side of the plastic piece is more flexible than you think and can be manipulated enough to access the back side of the lock.

It does not take much to get the outer jacket piece of the cable to slide off of the stop, then the cable end easily pops out.

I don't have my 1125 to try this out on but I have removed the rear plastic and disconnected this lock enough times to have a general idea.

Awesome, I'll give it a shot when I get home and let you know. Thanks for the information.
