Worship/iHarley: Sorry I'm late on replying to everyone's posts...I was sent out on a business trip unexpectedly. To answer a few questions, the shape of the '04 and older glove box openings is very different in shape and design than the '05-newer. It's gets even more complicated since even within the '04 and older glove boxes, there are two different designs. We looked at a universal door for the '04-older glove boxes, but in our opinion to do so would look pretty tacky in terms of fit and finish. I'm really curious how H-D came up with a one size because my basic geometry skills tells me you can't do it and have a well integrated unit. Guess I'll have to buy one of the competitions
Actually, I won't since I can see by the pictures of their product it's a matter of one door and several adapters. Knowing the differences in glove box shapes over the years, we thought there would be more demand for the '05-newer product so it was designed first. In essence, the designs are so different you might as well call the two versions of the '04-older a matter of starting from scratch. So bear with us, you '04 and older bunch. We're working on it but please understand the design for the '05-newer took 2+ years to get as close to perfect as we could make it. While I'm projecting a month or two for the '04-older versions, there's just so much tweaking that goes on once you've developed a prototype...lock fitment, die makers for the gaskets, what type of fasteners, etc... The bottom line is this: 1. we won't compromise in getting a quality product out even if it takes time to get it right and 2. you folks will be the first to get them when they do become available. The feedback we've gotten from everyone here has been gratifying and we have taken the suggestions to heart which leads to the next topic: Coming up with a non-locking option. We're looking at that too. We're running some things by our lock supplier and others, but from the lock company's standpoint a custom order isn't worth the bother unless we purchase a whole bunch of them. This is definitely one of those needle in a haystack searches, but we'll find something that works. Again, please be patient and we'll give it our best shot. Regards, PJ
