Here's my Bob ready for a trip. The angle of the photo and the leaning of the bike makes the sissy bar bag look like it's really leaning but it's actually only at a slight angle... same as the sissy bar.

well here is my set up, since i cant afford two bikes. but right now i still need my streetbike to apposed to a touring bike. later down the road i will get the cruiser but for now this is what i do. eveything is detachable and takes less then 5 minutes to attach everything. so the best part is when i get to my vacation spot or rally, i just detach it all and throw it in the tent and then i have my streetbike on vaction. and it only costed 150.00 total for the tourpak and the mount and it waterproof. i usally put a t-bag on top of the tourpak when the wife comes on vacation with me. jackyl

that is one of the biggest reasons i went to the tourpak and quit using bags is because the bags are not waterproof and i have got stuck in some down poars more then a few times on trips. the tour pak is waterproof and has saved me now a couple times. jackyl

Jackyl is that your bike i the ebay ad?
That looks good - what is the quality like - I cannot believe the price, roughly 100 bucks for mount and pak....wow!
1) Do you have any more pics?
2) I know it show two helmets....but what kind of stuff for a tour/how long of a tour can you pack in that thing?
3) What is the quality like - material, paint, hinges, lock, and back rest??
Thanks for sharing!!

In your picture with the bike set up for touring, I noticed you have the HD engine guard with forward controls. Are the forwards HD or Kury? The reason I'm asking is that I want to install the Kury forwards on my bike, but I'm not sure if they would interfere with the HD engine guard!!
