There have been some solutions posted before Pan.
One didn't involve any damage to the bike.
If you do a bit of a search you will probably find it.
Another change on the Gen II bike is that the hump locks from the opposite direction.
So we may have to figure out how to open one of those as well.

Here ya go PAN.
I did the search for you and found Pete Pitstop's post.
quote
"Just lever it up slightly on the left side, with a rag over screw driver or flat bar is better (gently does it) Have a look with torch and slip a piece of hooked wire in and pull the catch ..............it's on the rear side of the latch assembly and pulls from right to left.
Easy to do and have found that now the first thing I do when I put the cover back on the bike is to hook the cable up as it's indeed so easy to forget"
End quote.

Pan its tough but have a go.
I watched Pete Pistop do mine and he struggled because I had my wet weather stuff in there.
Don't laugh about the saw.
Some have actually drilled a hole under the guard to get in there and then put a plug in the hole!
It may take some time but with a coat hanger or ruler and your mouth the right way you'll get there.
I will track down the posts too...
This is a good one to have in the do it yourself thread or whatever we call it.
