Default Tour pak hardware question .

Installing a tour pak I need to install hardware/ drill holes . With that being said is it possible to install either style hinges new or old ?

Default In My Experience

My only experience with installing tourpak hardware would be changing out the original pin hinges for the Harley replacement hinges. That required drilling out the original riveted hinges and enlarging the same holes to allow for the new screws to fit. The replacement hinges were made to fit the original hole locations which in turn only needed to be enlarged. My guess would be that you could use either OE hinges or their designated replacements.

Ditto with what Jeffery said. The HD Chrome Premium Tour-Pak Hinge kit was great upgrade and not expensive.

If you are using old style, you would the special rivet tool. As above, best to go with the newer style.
