noob introduction and a question

[cosmic_jumper]

Hello, My Name is Tim and I live nearby Philadelphia. I'm currently riding a Honda FSC600 and am looking toward eventually picking up or bodging together a KLR650 Adventure. I recently picked up a military surplus aluminum Night Vision Goggle Case and have it mounted as a top case. The down side is that it has six latches to hold on the top. I'd like to remove several of those latches and replace two of them with hinges. A friend has SW-Moto side cases on his KLR and the hinges are pretty much what I'm looking for. I've tried to contact SW-Moto and Twisted Throttle for these hinges, but have had no luck. Can anyone here suggest a source for good quality top or side case hinges. A piano-type hinge just won't work. TIA Tim
