 Has anyone bought any & where did you get them. Want to replace the ugly ones that are on the FLTRUSE.

kuriakyn makes a nice set, go to their website or search on e-bay

[dayne66]

kuryakyn...I could only find covers for the hinges....and nothing on e-bay  today

I think the HD hinges at $62 cdn  are lookin' pretty good. Maybe in my stocking?

I would not go with covers, get the billet ones, you will be pleased.

Are you talking Hinges? OR latches?

If you are talking Hinges, there are several options as mentioned above.   I went with the HD option, 79211-08A

Not saying it was the best option, but, they were ~$40 bucks on sale, and look ~ok.   They are a little more bulky than i would have preferred, but thought the savings seemed worth it at the time.

Looking for the hinges. I bought a set in a group buy couple years ago and they were really nice billet hinges. So looking for something of equal quality.

[VRODDAVE]

I remember those ...  yes,  those were very nice .. I wish i would have got in on that deal.   They just seemed pretty high in price compaired to other options ....  If they ever do another group buy and get the price down a bit closer ,  I would consider switching.

His name is Dick Elk   
dickelk@aol.com

He goes by Pom-Cust on ebay
http://myworld.ebay.com/pom-cust/

He doesn't have anything on EBay today but just email him, that is what I do when I need hinges.  His are the custom billet hinges, he makes them.  About $100 shipped as i recall, they are very nice

[newseultra07]

I've sent a couple emails but no response back. Looks like eglidegoodies has the same hinges but they are $139.95. MY have to bite the bullet.

The ones Dick makes are the nicest. I've installed both his and the HD ones

[RedDevil]

I put the HD Billet hinges on my RUSE.  They match the latches and balances out the tour pack nicely.

Anyone got a good picture of these, mounted on their bike?

Thanks guys!

Here's a picture (among the many others) from a recent trip to Ruidoso and White Sands.
The chrome billet hinge is much cleaner than stock (IMHO) and should be part of a CVO package (IMHO).

Caution: My stealer had difficulty installing these and charged me 1.5 hrs (hrrummmmph) - hope you
and/or your stealer is mechanically inclined (unlike mine).

Took me about 1/2 hour to do mine (with an assistant holding the lid)... should have been a factory install on a CVO for sure. MUCH nicer!

I was able to install my hinges by my self.  The trick i learned, the hard way, was not to drill the old rivets out.  just CARFULLY grind off the rivet heads from the outside of tourpak with lid closed. Do not even attempting to save old cheap hinges. (could not hurt to use some heavy tape on painted surface around hinge just in case)

I did one side at a time so the lid was always supported.   I had to drill out the existing holes a tad to accomidate the alignment pins and screws on new hinge.

Time spent:   ~1.5 hours
30 minutes trying to drill out old rivets.  they spin  
5 minutes setting up and grinding off heads of old rivets  
5 minutes setting up and drilling out holes to correct size  
15 minutes mounting the new hinges and hardware  
10 minutes puting all liner and strap back together  
30 minnutes to admire work and drink a beer

So I think my dealer created a stress fracture when they installed these hinges due to drilling etc..
My tourpak lid cracked at the front hinge last week and now we are ordering a new lid to replace it.
Only good news is that it looks like the dealer is paying for it since they sent me on a test ride with
the lid unlock which let it bounce up and down and then crack.
