    Kidney shaped toolbox authentic ?

    Ive done some searching but can not find this topic being covered.

    Would someone be able to provide me with an indication of what I need to look for to discover if my toolbox 'tool kit' is an authentic one?
    Is there an easy way to distinguish the copy's from the real deal?
    I am talking about one for a 42EL

    Here are some pics of mine. I think its re-pop, but I was wrong about a couple other items.

    I think that the lock is different. On the repops, the face of the inner rotating part of the lock is flush with the area around it. It is recessed slightly on originals. There may be other differences too, but that's the one that I'm aware of.

      thank you, I posted some pictures now as that will certainly help to identify what I have, and then perhaps someone knows what an original should have or what i should watch for.

        I think that is the same one Harley sells now for Softails.
