Default Aftermarket Tour Pak -- Love it or hate it?

I'm thinking about this tour pak for my road king classic. Will only use for long hauls. Anybody have one (or one like it)?

How do you like it?

Default aftermarket tour pack

I'M pretty sure this is the same tour pack I purchased back in January. Maybe a different seller. Mine didn't
come with the luggage rack but I really didn't want it. I only paid 205.00 for mine. The quality isn't that of Harleys'
but for the amount of times I'll be using it and the price difference I'm Very satisfied.

Have you used it with a passenger? How is the comfort of the backrest?

I didn't buy the assembled complete one but did buy just the lid and the bottom as you can by just the parts you want, and then used new and used Harley hardware and ebay pieces to put it together the way I wanted. No issues in the several years I've owned mine.
I've read the hardware used in the assembled pack like this are not very good quality, but for the price you could switch it all out with OEM premium Harley hardware and still save a $1000 over buying a new OEM pack. If your nervous of the quality there is always trying to find a good used OEM pack?

Here's what I did with mine using Harley parts, get's used riding two up plenty.

Neighbor bought one and this is definitely the case. The smell is obvious. You do get what you pay for.

Hahaha...... sucks! They sell us defective drywall and poisonous hardwood floors. But making us replicated bags and travel packs from polystyrene is hitting below the belt!

Check with your local independent shops. Lots of folks removing the tour packs. You might be surprised what you can find.

Default Tour Pak

Did the aftermarket route. Should have just started with the OEM. Got tired of all the rattling. OEM is much better quality. Added the factory interior lights and for the saddle bags. Great addition. Surdyke offers great pricing. Just fyi
