If you're asking about the chrome ones that Sklywag is speaking of look at this thread - Billet Chromed Tour Pak Hinges---The 2nd Group Buy.....

Or if you want to see them before they are installed look at this thread - Mystery Package.........

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.
