By now, I must be the last guy that has installed these Premium Tour-Pak Hinges, but they make such a great cosmetic improvement that I wanted to show them to you.

These are the hinges that HD should make standard on a $20k bike, but I'm reasonably happy to pay the $50 to get ride of the ugly hinges that come standard.

Easy to install in about a half hour, but a couple of things are worth noting:

• Use a sharp 3/16 inch drill bit. The plastic on the tour-pak is soft enought that you can melt it if you use a dull bit. That's a bad thing!
• After drilling out the rivets on the old hinges, be sure to drill through the lid and body of the tour-pak and clean up the holes so that you get a clean install.

The end result is a great match for the nice latches on the other side of the tour-pak. Definitely dresses up the bike!

 

Looks Great!, and no Your Not the last Guy to install Them, I am. Thanks for the installation hints.

 

I installed them about a month ago, much stronger and better then the stock ones. My stock ones where rattling like crazy, not with these........no more rattles.

Did mine a couple years ago. Didn't know you had ugly hinges did ya? (Till you put these on)

 

Yep, a huge improvement! Can't believe a "limited" comes standard with those ugly tin hinges!

 

Why put them on a 20 thousand dollar bike ,they don't put them on the 25 thousand ones ether put they sure are worth it

 

Hell a CVO comes with the unly hinges also.

 

Unfortuntly for me I will be the last one to install these. Anyone have a part number on these?

 

Was the first thing I did to my Limited when I got it home. Now all you need to do is take the plastic covering off of the botton half.. ;-)

To those doing this mod, as the instructions state, drill out the screw holes to the proper size. Some think they can skip this step and screw the screws through the holes to enlarge them. Techs have been seeing damaged tour paks caused by this mistake. Just sayin!
