Tour Pack / Trunk
I have a 95 Electra Glide and have been looking at the cheapo trunks but they all seem to be for 97 and up. Is there a big difference in the mounting etc. Any tips?

Dont sweat it. All year tour pacs can be made to fit on HD's, you may need to drill a few holes for mounting, but most times you will not even need to do that. Get a tourpac with the wrap around backrest for the Mrs. that you like, whichever one you want.
Then you'll easily be able to see what mods if any you will need to do to get it bolted up to your glide. I'm running the tourpac from my 89 on my 11 SG, it is all easy to make work.

The wrap-around backrest is one of several options that have been available over the years. My tourpak is an '87 that I repainted for my 1990 bike, with a Corbin backrest, similar in style to the original (which was broken internally). It bolts right on, with the only mods being to the electrics, to make them qd. There are plenty on Ebay from around $200, also take a look at the Classifieds on HDF.

base of my tour back has been drilled several times, it has a steel plate fitted as standard about 1mm thick so redrilling should not weaken it
if you are worried about base being weakened use large penny washers to spread stress

I have a King tour pak off of a 1985 EG on mine. The interior is a bit different in that it has molded compartments in the front. The dimensions are the same up to 2013, and any wrap around backrest should work. I also have the upgraded hinges and latches on mine.
The mounting system may be a bit different. There was a frame change in 1997 that may limit your options there, but I am not sure.

I've been wondering when a "Color Change" would be coming? Maybe springtime ??
