Default 2018 Heritage with Viking Tour Pack

I added the tour pack from Viking bags. Had to add the HD rack and docking hardware too, of course.

Here are some pictures of how it turned out.

I can't decide if I like it or not. I think it might be fine when actually on a trip but a little too big for the bike on a day to day basis. Perhaps a smaller version would look better. What do y'all think?

I have the Harley pack, waiting on the rack to install. That Viking pack looks like it will hold quite a bit more, and I think it looks good. I do plan on leaving mine on the bike. For the price of the Viking I may have to get one for longer trips.

Take it off!

When you take a trip, put it on!

I’m a function over form guy, so I like it.

Can it be moved forward and used as rider backrest like the Harley version? If so, can you take a picture in that configuration. I can’t find a photo of the solo seat with tour pack anywhere. Thanks

To do that you need the solo tour pack rack

Dave - just put the same trunk on my 15 HSC, looks good - I got the chrome studs & am going to put those on so the trunk mimics the style of the bike.

Viking did a good job on these trunks - less than half what HD wanted & if you were able to get the 15% discount, what a price!!!! I'm going to try & put rear armrest on it but upon removing the passenger backrest pad I'm not sure if I can - kinda strange set up that pad & the way it mounts - 3 bolts with a rubber mount assembly????

Looks good, ride safe

Functional, but I don't like the look personally. I like the Heritage best with NO BAGS, No WINDSHIELD for day to day riding.
