So I am installing the new tour pack hinges and the drill slips off and I drill a nice hole through the tour pack lid right beside the hinge. If I had a gun close by I thing I could use it tonight. Any ideas. Is there any one that makes trim for around the hinges. Anyone buy a new lid? Any idea what a new one costs???

Ouch! Don't let Fired00d see this!

Seriously,  , so we can access.

Already saw it.... you didn't hear my sigh all the way down there?? This would be my luck if I tried to install mine.

Wreckman sorry to hear of your misfortune... that really sucks.

OK here is the Pic. I already have a fix in the works. I know a guy that makes custom billet alumn. parts. I called him and he is going to make me chrome bezels to go around the hinge mount using the hinge mounting holes. I will post pics after they are installed in case anyone else needs them.

  Hope you get it worked out

If he does them right, he may be able to sell a few here.  , no pun intended  .

That's a great idea to fix your little mis-drill.  A little added expense and hassle, but you may end up with a unique look that'll add to the scooter's charm.  har!  spyder

I've had this guy do work for me before. I am sure they will be top quality. I will post pics when they are installed. I sent him pics and will get him some dimensions tomorrow.

Man the pic just makes me more. Looking at that makes me more confident that I made the right decision.... don't try installing them. There is no way I could even try doing the install now after seeing that picture.... I'd be shaking more then a dog chittin' razor blades.

I guess the $25 I paid to have mine instaled was a deal.

Ouch!! But it will all work out in the end with a totally unique tourpac hinge setup!!

You know, $25 is reasonable.  I did mine on my 08 in about 2 hours or so.  Only problem I had was holding the lid on while attaching the hinges.  On my 09, I asked the dealership, the Service Manager told me his guys took over 2 hours to do it.  Turns out this is because most of the time they destroy the seal and have to replace it.  I decided to do mine on the 2010 myself.  Took me about an hour, solo.  Figured out how to get the lid on without help.

really sorry after seeing what had happened.  I'm staying with the basic hinges after seeing that one.   Sh*t happens,  hope you sweetin' it up somehow soon.

I would be glad to take a trip up to Charlottesville and take care of that for you....... I can make that trip in 1.5 hrs. 

That would be a hell of an excuse for a ride back up there....... great roads!
Just give a shout.

You do get a lot of razzing about them.

Come on up anytime, but don't worry about those hinges.... if they get installed what would people have to mess w/me about??
