Sport Glide Holdfast locking latch?
Any idea why H-D website would indicate the locking latch for the two up Tour Pak holdfast rack will not work with the Sport Glide?

It most likely will not work. I've bought both of them and they both have fitment issues. One won't latch/unlatch but will lock and unlock and the other, while it will latch and unlatch, won't unlock once locked due to clearance issues with the lock cylinder. Like I said, it's been a little while since I've tried the tour pak locks, but if the MoCo is finally saying that the locks won't work, it's an improvement from what it was earlier where you paid your money and took your chances.

I've noticed they had both options for a while now. I mistakenly bought the one-up version for my last Heritage. The website now says the one-up version will fit the Sport Glide so they've either edited that since I last checked or I'm losing my mind.

I think I might have figured out what's going on. There's a few different racks, including one specifically for the Sport Glide (p/n 50300192). That two-up rack doesn't seem to have a lock that work with it. The non-Sport Glide two-up rack (p/n 50300186) looks like it has working lock options. Guess which one I bought?
