Has anyone here replaced the push button lock system with something like motor trike uses? I'am fed up with the stock and my mind is wondering and that is dangerous.

I have 26K on my 2014.
I keep the lock button lubed and do not slam the trunk. Push gently until it clicks. No issues at all.
Custom cars use handle-less systems to open their vehicles.

This time I let Harley replace the broken lock. They get it in and all put back together, close the door and now the door won't open so they wind up breaking that lock. New one on order, again, but they don't have a shipping date. Now this crap has been going on 3 weeks this time. Wish I had never bought the thing although I do love riding it. So I drive by couple days ago and really study the set up and I think I have come up with a way to put a Motor Trike type of lock on it then they can take that button and shove it where the sun don't shine. Pizzed? Might say so:Agree: 100% Best practice for longevity for the OEM trunk lock!!

If you do the different latch help us all out by posting a picture and a "HOW DUE" post. Good luck and thanks.
As a heads up, if the plastic on the lock is the only thing that broke, you can have them order ONLY the plastic sleeve on the lock and you won't have to wait for a new lock they have to have re-keyed to your OEM key. How do I know - when mine broke, they ordered a whole new lock with a ridiculous wait time so we (parts person is a personal friend) reviewed the lock break-down list (as well as the diagram) and ordered only the plastic sleeve and received it in about 3 days. We left the order in for the complete new lock and waited for it to be re-keyed and when it arrived, the key to fit the lock was NOT a match for my OEM key so I have an extra lock/key in my parts drawer in the garage!!
