I have the mounting hardware already. I go look at it this Saturday, it's near my place. What do you think
Chuck. Not a bad price especially if it's like "new". These used tour packs bring good money and usually show a little wear. He might be negotiable if you walk in waving a few Hundo's in his face...... I paid dearly for a new one to match my '15 and it's really not necessary.

Chuck, an uneducated guess says that's a $400 paint job. Pick your poison. Or you can just get a Electra Glide or Road Glide Utra that already come with one. That'll save you the $700 + paint.

Not being the word merchant you are, might I suggest adding 'pretty please' to your plaintive cry?
