Metal tool box

[Cajun Ultra]

did anyone on here know that the metal tool box for a softail has a barrel key lock and any barrel key will open it ? i did not know this why would harley do that. why even have a lock if anyone can open it.

I would've thought it would've been "keyed alike" if they were ordered with the bike. Strange, but then again, I've never really seen a need for a small metal box to hold basically nothing for tools in it anyway. I just run a small leather bag on my downtube with a few common wrenches, reversable screw driver and spare bulbs and fuses. No key required, just unzip it and have at my goodies
