Anyone have any experience mounting the '09 & Later Detachable Two-Up Tour-Pak Mounting Rack (HD part# 53276-09A) to a 2008 and earlier King Tour Pack?

I have acquired the older tour pack, and need to find a way to mount the new rack. Any advice, hints or cautions will be much appreciated.

The older rack that it came with, has a U-shaped tubular steel piece that the new rack does not come with (or seem to have anything comparable). I am concerned about getting the angles, elevation and tilt correctly positioned for the passenger, and of course, securing the pack safely.

Thanks for any help or ideas offered.

 

I put my older chopped TP on the new style rack for my 13 RG. Did away with the u-shaped tube and had to drill new holes in the base of the TP to line up with the new mount. The metal plate in the TP base was pre-drilled with the right pattern, just had to drill thru the plastic and plug the old holes.

 

Same here. I tried to set my tour pak back as far as I could lining it up with the contours on the bottom of the tour pack and drilled the holes.

 

like they said. plug old holes with black push in plug from Lowes. Repaint and enjoy

 

Yep ... Been there, done that for a friend ... It works!
