I have the lockable one too. Have to use my pinkie to open the dang thing. Next time i am at the dealer going to pickup the smooth model.

I could open mine with heavy gloves on.

So there are two different part numbers?
What are they?

Well DAM IT! I didn't know there were two kinds. Yeah, mine will still lock with the barrel key. I just asked my friendly HD parts man for a push button conversion and that is what he gave me. Charged me the $27 bucks too..Betyas he won't exchange it.

I just turned my lock around. Just push down on the bottom and open it. Stays down when riding.

I bought 1 about 4 years ago, worked flawlessly until this year. This year damn thing sticks on me. Tried to lube it, clean it, I still need two hands to open it. I may have to change back to the stock latch. Anyone got any Ideas. Works fine with door open.
