Years ago, I read a similar thread and @Uncle Larry recommended Ultra Tour-Pak Brace (eglidegoodies.com) and every one of my tour paks has had one since.

Thanks Larry!

I installed one of these and it works very nicely for me. I removed my factory tether after the brace was installed.

Thanks everyone. My cheap tether that came with the tour pak broke on me the other day so I bought the eglide goodies one from amazon. The shipping was $10 cheaper from there rather than buying it from the site itself.

Think about a modification? I am thinking of a gas assist shock!

I did the same thing after looking high and low for something similar and cheaper. This is still cheaper than repairing and repainting my tour pack.

Supposedly this part is not for Rushmore ('14+) bikes. I read somewhere that the tether was too long. What bike do you have it on? Can you share a few pics? I think this is a reasonably priced approach it it fits well.
