Also a liner bag make packing easy as a perfect fit.

Maybe you will get lucky on 14 up. A test fit and adjustment on all my parts before I send to paint. Should have mine off to paint in next couple weeks.

MY garage is a disaster at the moment. Once I get my bike torn down and back together, then maybe I can get back to being organized. Audio not perfect yet but close enough till my dsp arrives.

Gets the job done and saves from having to run a smaller pack.

Hey Sly,edog, could you please let me know how much is the travel distance of the sliding mechanism?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for heads up. I'm starting a moc up w new topshop fender and bags today on 02 RK. The bags and lids are the newer one touch latch made for my older frame. Im still looking for tour pack that I think will hold up to my abusive ways and won't interfere w opening of lids. I've seen some packs that are relieved on the bottom but I don't like the look and need the room. I just ran across 621 last night and like what I've seen so far about them but worried about interfering w lids and you have given all us the perfect solution so again, Thank You. What's your thoughts and opinion on the 621 pack???

I talked to voodoo yesterday. My first question was "will your 8.8 lids open without hitting the tourpak on a 14+ Ultra"

No hesitation... "yep"

I wonder if that was just a line to get a set sold.

I hope they weren't just saying that for a quick buck bc I've been considering their "aggressor" pack. That lid will give me more room than reg flat lid.

621 makes a demon pack a but narrowed than the chopped. Mine was close bit had to add the sliding mechanism to make it work. Needed 3/4" more height to clear and looked like crap that high off mount. Can't speak for voodoo pack but 14+ should not have clearance issues with either pack. Part of custom is you never know till mock-up
