Check the part numbers. You can look up part numbers at Mondak motorsports website. IF you want to buy one for a gen I you can Gary McCoy at Mondak. He gives great discounts to forum members.

I thought GEN I's didn't have a glove box... am I stupid on this one?
EDIT:
At least the 2003 had no glovebox:

The answer is YES - so long as you keep it in your saddlebag - otherwise, no. :clapping:
Sell your Gen-I and buy a new glovebox - it will be cooler to ride, too.

WOW, did you leave a door open! But I'm taking the high road and not walking through.
04 & 05 had gloveboxes.
Ping Grumpy.
Howie, you're a better man(atee) than I.

If you do get a quote, post it here - my door pops open sometimes when I hit a big bump, so I might be interested too.

Could have swore the US 03s had a glove box. Mebbe I'm wrong.

Bikebandit says $122.
There's no box on the 2003 diagrams at the Bikebandit web site.

Having an 03 I can say if it has a glove box its REALLY well hidden. I haven't found it in the 4 years I've owned mine
I've also really eyeballed my fathers 04 that does have a glovebox and I think that adding one to the 03 would be doable. I freely admit I havent looked inside the 04's tupperware but the bodywork is all exactly the same from the outside. it looks like you could relocate the hazard blinker button on the 03 and carefully cut the hole in the fairing for the new box. The stumbling block here is that I haven't seen how the box is actually secured to the fairing on the inside. I'm also guessing that the ignition controlled lock would be a pain to wire in. Diffucult I assume, but not insurmountable.
I'm actually seriously contemplating one of two things...
1) Disassemble an 04 to identify and buy/modify the neccessary parts for my 03, which could possibly lead to...
2) Accidently need new plastic for the left side and then buy 04 bodywork.
I'm thinking if that happened I'd buy the left upper/lower left pieces, plus the ABCD panels and either repaint or get on Ebay the 04 blue right upper/lower/headlight pieces. I think leaving the fender tank and tail sections silver might be nice looking.

It has been done, you need the 04' fairing parts. Get the 04 parts then have the whole bike repainted.
