Default Tourpack 17 Roadglide

Instead of using the standard luggage rack with my Nelson Rig (suitcase) I want a quick detach tourpack. A brother had one that he bought from Ebay and you can't tell it's a knockoff. I found a couple on the website, but I wanted to check with someone here to see if they've bought one and from who so I know it's going to be good. Yes, I asked my brother, but he forgot who he bought his from.

TIA

I just bought one from Hogworkz...about half the price of the HD one and just as high quality. Considered Ebay but didn't want to risk it.

From what I always read it seems the hardware is the weak spot for the aftermarket packs.

I would get the HD hardware and attach the aftermarket tour pak to it... Hogworks makes a decent pak. Mutazu had Ebay knockoffs for years. My lowers came from them. they're ok but at the time it's what i could afford and got a buddy to color match paint them.

Bought one off Amazon. It's good looking but not as high quality as H-D non as sturdy. But with proper caution opening not letting it hit the end of the stop cable it should give years of service for a lot less than H-D. I did add small backing plates under the hinge attachment screws to re-enforce that area.
