Not all riders care about their looks but functionality. Givi makes a nice topcase that you can attached to the rear rack. These run about 500 dollars, cheaper than a king tourpak, and can fit more.

Then why not buy an Ultra? I think there is a balance between looks and functionality without ending up with something that is fugly.

I'd buy this if I was too cheap to buy a tourpack.

That's actually pretty sharp looking. Wonder if you can add the "queen bee" back & arm rests to it? Looks like all the pics on their website just show a smaller backrest pad..

I saw a guy with one on a Denim Black Street Glide in Daytona last year and ask him who made it. It looked great in person too.

I usually don’t like tour packs but surprisingly I like the lines on that Swinebox. Thanks for posting up that link

Baggers Mag did a piece about using Pelican cases on a Harley Touring bike:

https://www.baggersmag.com/pelican-c...-cycles-part-1

Granted, this was a one-off setup created by Barnstorm Cycles for the mag- but if you're a serious photographer, then Pelican cases are part of your standard gear already. So they wanted to see how it would work on a Harley bagger. No mention of the mounting system they created being sold though.

To each their own but I don’t like it. I know it’s function but a tour pack can be had cheap if you look .

That looks like a recycle bin and goes on the back of BMW 1200 GS. Pony up and get a tour pac from HD or Advan.
