I consider my factory Harley tour pack a flimsy plastic pos.They were much sturdier when they were fiberglass.

 

There are two places I have used to get salvage parts at a little cheaper price.

One is in Alabama = http://www.motorcyclesports.com/

The other one in Georgia = http://www.maximummotors.net

They both have hit or miss inventories of parts. Might be worth checking out.

I looked locally on Clist for one and the only one listed was for $800.

 

Thanks I'll check those out too.

 

Mutazu owner here too and I'm more than satisfied. Granted, mine's the chopped pack, but overall I think it's put together well at a fraction of the cost. Good luck with whatever you go with.

 

I just got a new Mutazu King TP with the air-wing rack. Here's my initial reviews:


If you are using a QD mount, you need to drill holes (even though they say they are pre-drilled.


There are no drain plugs ($6 each from HD)


Loc-tite the hinge pin hardware (lost one after just 16 miles). I would recommend using the upgraded HD hinges and latches


Other than that, the finish was goon, and it doesn't feel flimsy. Most of the cons are with the hardware which is all easily remedied.

 

I've fixed/repaired/painted several tourpacks both HD and aftermarket. The aftermarket ones (all seem to made the same) are a bit flimsy compared to the HD. If you add the light to the rear(if it did not come with it) it will give it some support. If you can do your own painting, then you could probably repair a damaged one off Ebay fairly easily. ABS and fiberglass both are very easy to repair, and you can usually find some with minor damage. Also check with some larger HD dealers, they often have some with mild damage they may sell (Ray Price HD In Raleigh has a salvage parts business next to the dealership).

 

I would try craigslist. I bought 2 from there for 500 each. One was the new style for my 2016 road glide. you need to check daily, good deals go quick.

 

I purchased a king Mutazu last year. I have it attached to a quick release so it's not on the bike full time, but I have over 17,000 miles touring and have not experienced any issues.

 

Take a look at this one...... you said you can do light repair and paint.


Maybe they will ship it to ya.

Pretty popular question lately, this must be the fifth thread asking about Mutazu tour packs in the last two months. Love mine, had it for years with no issues. Most of the negatives on this forum are from members that have never owned a mutazu pack or don't have pictures to show the issues they had. Plenty of pics of the satisfied owners!
The last picture was from our three week 6800 mile road trip me and my wife went on in 2013, very packed down and it didn't have any issues.
