I bought a set of Interstate bags to put on my Valkyrie Standard. I prefer the flip up lid action on the Tourer bags. It looks like I can replace the lid hinge on the bags with the ones from a tourer saddlebag. Has anyone got experience with this project before I lay out some cash for the new hinges?
Maybe somebody with a Tourer can meet me for a quick lid inspection so I can eyeball your lid hinge? 972-414-4634

Hey Stretch! Got your message. Short answer is, "I don't know."

You might also be able to trade someone as there used to be a lot of tourer owners who wanted the interstate bags.

You also need to order the correct cable stays for the new hinges. They are different lengths.

Here are the results.
Stretch's IS Saddlebags/Lids now have Tourer hinges and my Tourer Saddlebags/Lids now have the IS Lid Stopper Stay & Saddlebag Lid Hooks. These parts are interchangeable.
Stretch's IS bags/lids also have the Tourer Stopper Cables. My Tourer bags/lids have no Stopper Cables - the lids detach from the bags.
The significant difference between the Tourer and Interstate Saddlebag assemblies is the inside of the Lids.
1. The Tourer Lids have one attachment point for the Stopper Cable. The Interstate Lids have two attachment points for Stopper Cables.
2. The Tourer Lids have no attachment points for the Stoppers (the rubber-covered metal pieces that rest against the bag when the lid is opened and hanging on the Stopper Cables). The Interstate Lids have two attachment points for the Stoppers.
Bottom Line:
1. If you want your Tourer's Saddlebag Lids to completely detach when open, all you need are the Interstate Lid Stopper Stays & Lid Hooks (hinge replacements).
2. If you want your Tourer's Saddlebag Lids to hang outboard of the Saddlebag when open, you need Interstate Lid Stopper Stays & Lid Hooks, Interstate Stopper Cables, (2) of the little brackets that attach the rear cable to the bag, the Interstate Stoppers that keep the lid off the bag's side, AND Interstate Lids.
3. If you want your Interstate Saddlebag's Lids to open and hang forward like Tourer Lids, all you need are Tourer Hinges and Stopper Cables.
Hope this helps,
DFG
