Default Tour Pak Tether

Can anyone link a good tour pak tehter, or piston style opener that will work? All the tethers on amazon look just as cheap as the one that came with my cheap tour pak. Just looking to secure it a little better. Thanks in advance.

On my 2019 FLHTP I didn't like the Harley trunk tether. So I made my own with paracord and Stainless Steel Cushion Clamps -
Amazon Amazon

Works for me.

When I worked at National Super Service I bought a cable from a wrangler 26 floor scrubber and used bolts to connect the lid to the bottom. Solid as can be

I know it's expensive but it's one of the best mods I've done to my bike.

A cable and 2 eyelets secured between the existing tether mounts and tourpack. If the existing tether breaks the cable will come into play. About $4.00
