I got a good deal on a tour pak, only problem its fire engine red and my bike is Vivid black. I want to paint myself, and get as close a match as I can with rattle can. My question is can I dril out the rivits that hold the hinges on and then use som stainless bolts and nuts to re attaqch when I am done?

Yes, you can.

That is exactly what you need to do in order to install the Premium hinge kit HD sells.
