Default Replacement hinges for tour pack

new hinges for your tour pack ($50.00) look great and ressemble the latches...when you remove old ones, the new screws won't fit the holes...use a new 3/16 drill bit to open them up...makes install easy...

Why did you replace the hinges on the tour pac? On my tour pac the hinges do not stay closed any more, having them replaced by the dealer.

These are the hinges, not the latches. I replaced the stock hinges because they look like crap IMO. These are MUCH nicer looking plus they feel like they'll be much stronger with less flex.

i agree, they are great. they match the latches and after you get them on, you really can see how ugly the originals were, and why HD didn't put these latches on at the factory. course, then they couldn't sell them to you for more profit.
