Default Solo Touring

Recently installed a Cop seat on my bike. Planning on a 5 day trip in June and wondering how guys with a solo seat pack up the bike.

Thanks

Just take Sally outta the closet and put some air in her. She'll do fine back there.

I have a cop seat on my RGU and tour with the tour pack on longer trips and remove it for shorter or over night trips.

I put my duffle behind me and in front of the tour pack when solo touring. Works well for me, but moving it up like the others is nice too.

There is two different detachable tour pak racks. One is called two up, puts the tour pak back and out over the rear fender. The second is called a solo detachable tour pak rack, puts the tour pak right behind the rider, or at least close to the rider. That's what I have on my bike.

I had two CVO road glide I ran a chopped tour pack in the solo position with a corbin solo seat. on my 15 CVO Road glide ultra, I moved the tour pack to the solo position the week I bought the bike. All with quick detach hard ware and the solo tour pack mounting rack.

On my 17 CVO Street glide I am using the solo seat, and the had solo luggage rack with a bag. I am having a bar welded on it sort of like a back rest, then going to powder coat it black. I will be able to run a T-Bags Route 66 and top roll that way, about two weeks worth of luggage, more than a king tour pack will carry.
