I liked the old box on my 08. It was perfect for EZ-PASS.
Absolutely! cellphone and EZPASS are my 2 biggest customers for that space. I still don't understand what the hoopla was all about. The only "improvement" with the new glovebox is that it is lockable. Even then, given all the complaints about the KiPASS conking out, I'm not so sure folks would want more solenoid operated locks that might fail.
I actually prefer the wide shallow cavity more than a deep narrow one. The glovebox on my Triumph Sprint ST was similar to the new C14's, and I never bothered to put anything in it.
