Confirmed fitment: Listed for Classic 500 EFI (dealer catalog) and appears in Classic 500 “Utility Box C5” microfiche.
What to verify before purchase: This is finish-specific (Chrome)—match your existing utility box and hinge/lock layout by photo before ordering.

Important supersession note: in the Royal Enfield parts mapping used by a microfiche dealer, 868040 is shown as the replacement/supersession for 868008 for the same “LID ASSY, TOOL BOX – C5 CHROME”.
