Just dropped in to say hi. I ride a 2000 Electra Glide Standard. Reinhardt Slip Ons and lots and lots of chrome. Been working on a Touring Trunk I bought a while back and am going to Paint it tomorrow. Hope to have it ready for my bike in a few weeks. Have to replace some lights and other things before it can be put on the bike.

Welcome from Michigan, Kinda makes you wish you bought a classic to start with eh? Since you are painting and replacing lights and such, drop the extra $50 and get the premium tourpack hinges, you wont be sorry (see my pic below)

Thank for all the welcomes. And Jim I think I have the same type of hinges. This is a trunk off of an Ultra Classic.
