ok, give me your viewpoint. I bought a chopped tour pak in May of 2013 from a dealership in Ohio b/c they were cheaper than any dealer in my area. It was for my 2009 CVO Road Glide, Stardust Silver color with led spoiler and premium hinges. I got the tourpak and assumed everything was fine, used it since I got it and now I am trying to add a George Anderson tourpak relocator. I purchased one from George and went to install it and it will not work with my chopped tourpak b/c the bottom isn't flat, it has ridges around it, see attached picture. I called George and he understood, talked to two dealerships in my area and they told me 2009 and later the bottoms were flat, that you were shipped/sold an older style tourpak. The round stock on the edges of the relocator kit are right inline with the ridges on my tourpak, doesn't sit well. I called the dealership I bought the chopped tourpak from, talked to both the parts mgr and service mgr and they said "since you bought an accessory tourpak and did not have an OEM tourpak, they are different. I don't know of any aftermarket relocator kit that will work on a chopped tourpak." So basically they said "its your problem now, HD doesn't use the same bottom on all tourpaks". I can't even slide it forward b/c of the ridge that stops it. BTW....the king tourpak I had before which I bought as an accessory was flat on the bottom.
What would you do in this situation? Do I have any recourse from HD?? Or am I screwed?

 

Looks like you could make an adapter plate to the tourpack and drill it to match the relocater kit. I would think any fob shop could handle that project.

 

use lexan, aluminum, plywood or whatever and make a simple spacer. Never going to see it anyhow.

 

Tour pak is 2 yrs old. You mounted and used it. It's yours. Harley doesn't have to do anything. It obviously worked for the application you bought it for. Now (2 yrs) down the road, a third party accessory won't work with it, and you want them to do what? Like others said, get creative, make an adapter plate.

 

Make a filler plate to locate the holes to the tour pack and then drill other holes to mount the relocation kit. Simple.

Now you know why it was cheaper than everywhere else.Adapt and move on,the dealer owes you nothing at this point in time.

 

You pay your money, you take your chances.
SOL on this one, seems pretty easy to fix though

 

i'm not sure i see the problem. i used a hd chopped tourpack, it had ridges like yours, and a george anderson tourpack relocator with no issue. though, it was on my 2007, so not sure how george changed the relocator for the 2009 and up bikes.

 

After this length of time the dealer owes you nothing. Fix the problem yourself or sell it on the forum and start over with the correct tour pack. Caveat Emptor when some things are cheaper.

skratch....the half round stock on the outside edge of the relocator is right in line with the ridges on the tourpak....so it doesn't sit well, so I am going to make some spacers to raise up the tourpak enough to miss the ridges
