Hog Trough Glove box locking covers!
Hey Guy's,
Have any of you tried these locking covers for the gloveboxes on the HD lowers? I just installed lowers on my 09 SG and was thinking about these with the cup holder as I do not want a cup holder on my handlebars. Let me know what you think.

No worries about the thread hijack. I like them so far but have only had a couple of short rides with them so a little to early to tell. I know I will get flamed for this but since I have a vivid black SG I purchased a set off ebay that are actually HD knock offs made in you guessed it China but for $299 shipped they are great and I do not plan to run them year round and even if I did they look great. If I had to have them painted to match I would have just spent the money to buy the HD ones as the paint quality is way better. I had just spent over a $1000 to put the HD tourpak on the bike and $689 for the fuel moto stage one so my funds are a little down. My only other concern is I would check that you SEAC would not interfere with the lowers since I think it sits farther forward than the football cover.

I bought the Whole Hog set, also. Works just great. I carried the drink cup around for three days because I kept forgetting to remove it. Never got in the way and never seemed in danger of being lost. Doors are substantial. Cost me $15 each to have them keyed to my bike (bummer).

I purchased the full kit.
One plain right cover and one plain left and one cup holder.
The sport bottle that fits the cup holder is okay, but the coffee cup is a bad idea.
I tried using it once and ended up with coffee all over my left leg and the left side of the engine.
Nice fit and simple to install.

I purchased a set of fairing lower off E-Bay that already had the covers installed. The fit looks to be much better than the Harley version. They didn't come with the cup holder, so I can't speak to how it works but I like the covers very much.
When I purchased the lower, they did not come with locks or keys. I contacted Hog Trough and he set me a set of locks and keys for $10.00 shipped. They weren't keyed to my bike but $10.00 was cheap enough.
I could not find a locksmith locally that would re-key my lock to match but I did find a solution. The police bike saddle bags and the tour-pack use the same lock as the hog trough. Cost me $40.00 dollars to order them keyed to match my bike. Waiting on the to come in.

I saw them on a bike the other day and the only thing I didn't like was the fact that they are not hinged at the bottom, they come all the way off when you open them. That looked kind of unhandy to me.
