Found a listing on eBay selling some gauge pod shades, says they fit Standards, but not Tourers. Are the gauge housings different sized? Can't imagine why they would be...

According to Partzilla, they are the same part numbers.

Maybe the windscreen is in the way ?

Seller probably confused Tourer with Interstate

That's what I figured, but the listing also mentions them not fitting the IS.
I didn't want to link to the listing, but here's a verbatim copy/paste from the listing:

Quote
THESE DO NOT FIT THE INTERSTATE DUE TO DIFFERENT GAUGES IN THE FAIRING
THESE DO NOT FIT THE "TOURER"  MODEL--I MIGHT HAVE THAT SIZE AVAIL  BUT WILL NEED YOUR MEASUREMENTS
THESE  FIT THE CRUISER MODEL ONLY

I have a Tourer, but am in the process of installing a fairing so I can't check, but I don't recall the gauges being that close to the windscreen, and his warning makes it sound like the gauge itself is different.  Weird.

Well, there are two part numbers for each gauge; of course, you don't get dimensions from a parts list.
