Long story so I'll try not to bore to bad. I never really had a detach kit till this last bike I bought. You know how we want it all. I wanted to have an EG that would strip down and yet very quickly go back to ultra mode and then some. Why can't you get a tour pac mount to go where YOU want it too. Off the bike, orignal location, or in a solo position and yet adjust easily forward and back. Who wants to constantly be wrenching in order to relocate their tourpac? I couldn't take it. Makes you wonder where HD's engineers heads are at. They come up with this new Rocker and it's so called hidden passenger seat and redesigned crap.......oops. Better quit on that rant......anyway, back to the project. I've did this modification done to the bike about 30,000 miles back. Up till now it was just that. Well winter kills me so what the heck. Take the stuff off and get it chromed. Ya can't see it when the tour pack is on cause it's all underneath. But hey! That's why we get on this forum........to share!..........So here it is in all it's glory. I'm sharing. George Anderson has nothing on me!.....hahaha.......As my tourpac mod lets the tourpac go all over the place with movement within it's stationary location. Was a fun project and frustrating at the same time. No one really notices it cause it's all hidden. But geesh!........I love it and had to brag!..........    Thumbnail Image Attachment (1) Post #: 1 RE: Tourpac is truly Modular. - 3/8/2008 9:28:53 AM    model1911a Posts: 94 Joined: 3/13/2006 Status: offline Here's one in the 2up position Thumbnail Image Attachment (1) (in reply to model1911a) Post #: 2 RE: Tourpac is truly Modular. - 3/8/2008 10:21:15 AM    Rhubarb Posts: 5234 Joined: 11/18/2005 From: Concord, CA Status: offline Very nice.  Is that a seat rail kit? _____________________________ ''06 Softail Deluxe Blue/White Got a ride to plan?

I really like that idea and someday when I get my touring bike (someday ) I will be 'borrowing' your idea.

Believe me, I did my fair share of whinning while I was fabricating. I'm a maintenace man for a printing company and that's all I do is fabricate and wrench all day. Is the last thing I wanted to do on this bike. Just want to get on it and ride. But..........I want my comfort as I'm getting old. hahahaha.......But hey...Thanks for the complement. It was for the most part a fun project. Just the little things get to ya.........  (in reply to 94Dan69) Post #: 8 Login OR Register now to post a reply to this forum topic.
