What is involved to change narrow lids to deep lids? Like if you had a pair of each, are extra hinges or anything required? Thanks | ||

As long as you have the loops and the hinges on each lid, they change in seconds. I had both until recently. I prefer the wide lids for fit, look, and storage, so I sold off the narrow lids with enough spare parts to make a full set of bags. | ||

So hinge sets are needed for each lid, the hinges don't stay with the backs , is that correct? | ||
| Phelan |
There are hinge halves on the both sides, they just slide right in.  | ||

Male ends on the inner bags and female ends on the lids, if you can see in the photo. | ||
| Johnod |
Yes I can see them, thanks again. | ||

The cable that holds it when open attaches to the lid with a knurled nut. Depending who put it on the lids on the bike now you may need pliers and an allen wrench to remove it/them. Simply transfer them - with the cable attached - to the other set of lids. I have both sets for my S2 and can swap them in about 3 minutes. I like the wides for carrying lots of crap; I like the narrows for city riding and parking when I'm only carrying a coffee mug and rain suit. Honestly...my narrows get most of the use these days. If I have to carry crap...I have the Ulysses  | ||

On mine I had the knurled nuts on both sets of lids already and positioned so that I can just slide the loop off the lid sides. That way I could just unhook the looks, flip the safety lock at the bottom, and slide the lid off as I slid the cable off the nut and do the reverse on the other lid. About 15 seconds each to change the lids this way. |
