Tourer vs. Interstate Bags and the Seam ...

[Glaserbeam]

Hi. I've got Tourer bags on my Standard and want to replace them with Interstate bags (it's related to color; don't ask!).  Other than the Tourer lids being hinged in the front vs. Interstate lids coming off completely to clear the trunk, are there any differences such as size or mounting holes side and bottom?  I ask because Tourer bags have a molding seam in the back and Interstate don't.
Thanks!

early yrs had the seam, I think it was the first 2 yrs, after that all models seamless.

Thanks to you both!

It could be pretty tough trying to find red and black 2-tone Interstate bags (if that's your bike in your sig pic).

I can't remember how to look up all years, makes, models and color combinations, for the available production numbers.

And painting yours could end up cheaper.  Painter could probably fill the seam, if that matters.
