saddlebag scavenger...

I have a Shadow right saddlebag (it must be, it is black and white), an Interstate
left saddlebag (it has the Interstate paint pattern) and an Interstate new-old-stock
left saddlebag lid. I thought I'd found the right lid for cheap, but it is a left - check
it out if you've been looking for a left side lid, they spelled "Valkarie" wrong, so
it doesn't show up on normal eBay searches:

Anywho... do I have to worry about where I find my parts (anyone got a right lid?  ) or
will they all mix and match? If I ever get all the parts, I plan to build a "Tourer" style set.

I already also have a new set of Tourer hinges and also the lid/body gasket.

I have new new set of the words "Tourer" that go on the side, too... I'm sorely
tempted to stick them on the sides of my 1800's Corbin bags, but I'll
try to resist  ...

The Shadow ACE Tourer started in 98' with the bags/paint pattern, that was later put onto the IS model Valk. All the OEM bags for the ACE T and the Valk are interchangeable.

Paint pattern isn't a problem, except for the pattern or colors. The hinges don't matter except when you have a trunk above the bag, you want the IS hinges. The Tourer hinges can be modified to work with the IS.

Thanks... I'd hate to finally get a lid and then find out
my parts wouldn't fit together...
