This one is way too easy to make to justify paying $50 for the kit. Go to Lowes and purchase two 1/4" neodymium magnets for $3.00, a tube of super glue and two 1/8" steel washers. Drill out the existing stationary snaps. Pop rivet the 1/8" washers in their place. Super glue the magnets to the center of the flap snaps. Done

If you read the Harley page there new doors included with the kit not just magnets, the new doors are made to fold at the bottom and are more flexible. So for the 50.00 dollars you get the whole thing doors and all, If I read it right.

Except the stock snap on ones have the tab on the bottom to grab onto. the new magnetic ones open from the top and are solid fastened on the bottom. Kinda keeps stuff from falling out the bottom. They fit very well and no tab on the top would make them a PIA to open.
Just my .02 cents.

Thanks to you, imskier2 and Cougar1959 for the clarification.

I dropped in on the Las Vegas Bike Fest on my way to Utah. A feller on his way out showed me an item that might work for some of you that want to lock the glove box. Doesn't require any drilling etc. He said he paid $80. The website says $99.00. He let me try it out on my bike. They just slip in place and lock. Took 2 seconds. Not sure if the slipping in and out would eventually be a PIA but, price is better than the $200 charged by eglidegoodies. And no, I'm not a sales rep, CEO, janitor or stock holder for the co. Just pass'n on the info.
