Might have a complete set.  Need the latch pin too or just the hinges?

FYI: They are different on 85 and earlier bikes vs. 86+ bikes.  (And different for K1100s too.)

well duck I've got a K1100 rear cowl that im trading my old 85 rear cowl out for, So would I need the 85 hinge and hardware or the K1100 version? Im switching out my rear cowl and seat for a K11 cowl and a corbin.

If you're going with a K11 tail cowl then you'll be using a seat with an 86+ seat pan so you'll want 86+ hardware.  Be aware that K1100 seat pans dip down into the frame under the rider and are not compatible with the under seat tool box - but can be used with the low seat  version of the L-Jetronic holder.

The newer K1100 seat pans also need the newer (more expensive) hinges with rubber in them. (Although alternately you can use older hinges with a 1/2" spacer.)

You'll be fine with the Corbin, 86+ hinges and normal toolbox. :2thumbup:

Sorry, can't help.

The seat hardware I have is from a K75RT.  It may be the same as a K1100 but you'd need to check.
