The 06 and older tour packs are fiberglass, gray color inside. The 07 and newer are PVC, black color inside. The hinges in question will fit, but I don't know what problems you might have with them down the line.

On a leap of faith (and a 30-pack), a friend and I recently installed the new hinges on both an '05 Ultra (King tour pack) and an '08 FLHX with a chopped tour pack. We had to remove less than 1/32 from the tour pack lid overhang directly under the hinge area with a small file to make them snug up to to the top. I suspect that is why the hinges are rumored to be obsolete because it would only take a minor change to the hinge to make these hinges fit many more tour packs. My only question now is should I have put touch-up paint on the the file marks to keep the fiberglass from rusting?
