Locking Lower Fairing Doors

So I wanted to get these for my 03 Ultra Classic Electra Glide but it looks like on for 05-13. What is the difference in my 03 and 05?
Thanks

I agree with groupw. I have them on my detached lowers and IIRC, they go on '91 and older. Get the lock keyed to your bike if you get 'em. P/N 57411-08 is what I got.

Just call Hogtrough or write them a message via their contact page, I'm sure they can answer your questions.

I have never had locks on mine. But I don't store anything in them except wipe down towels or reflective vests. Nor have I ever had anyone mess with them (or for that matter, any part of my bike.) Maybe I have been lucky to this point.

What do you store in your lowers that would require locking them up? I am not trying to hose the idea, just better understand how others are using this quaint storage location. For instance, if I converted it to a concealed carry area, I would definitely want it locked.

Looks like the change to vents in the lower fairing came in 2005

I bought the cheapos on ebay for 20 bucks.They're a lot handier than the dumb snaps that came with it originally.As far as locking them,anybody could bust them off with a screwdriver.

I have these too but they are as cheap looking as they are cheap. They rattled like crazy when I first installed them so I put several pieces of 3M double sticky tape on them to help quiet them down.

I will soon be replacing them with speaker pods so for now I just put up with them, but I actually liked the leather snap on's much better. One of the snap grommets broke off that's why I replaced them.
