Most excellent Drake
I'm impressed by your tireless energy to keep perfecting this old bike (even though you have newer toys in your stable)
Cheers,
Sanjiv

Thanks. It actually took me a few iterations to come up with this. My first attempts worked but had issues. For example, on the first set I didn't bother to round off the corners. When I'd throw the cases on the other bed in motel rooms the square corners would snag on the bedspread when I picked the cases up. I also used seven bolts per side but later decided that was overkill and that you really only need four bolts per side.
Once I came up with the final iteration above, I decided to document it so that it would be easier for me to replicate in the future.

Good job! Thank you! Those plastic hinges are a pain to change.
Hope BMW doesn't go out of business because of lost sales of system case hinges...

One thing I learned (the hard way) on my first long K tour is that worn out broken system case hinges can be temporarily repaired with a couple of layers of duct tape until you get home.
