RE: Detachable Tour Pack getting Sloppy
Are all the front plastic pieces the same ( sissy bar, Tour pak) I have the detachable sissy bar and was wondering if they are the same part I know Harley makes one that uses the same mounting spot as my sissy bar andwas just wondering? What does the replacement plastic pieces go for?

RE: Detachable Tour Pack getting Sloppy
I dont have the tour pack yet so I will have to ask a question or 2. There are 2 pieces to the sissy bar. the smaller front piece and the larger rear piece. are the tour pack bushings the same as the sissy bar *as asked in a post above* and which one wears out, the front or rear or both? I just want to be clear.

I will be out after dinner working on replacing my forward mounts for my tour pak, and I will send you an answer later this evening... I do know that they have differant forward mounting points but not sure if they are made of the same material or not...

OK… It’s been so long since I used my sissy bar back rest that I forgot that it has its own 2 sets of locating post. So to have a tour pak you will need 2 sets (4 total) of location pins and for a sissy bar back rest you will need an additional 2 sets (4 total) for it. You will end up with 8 locating pins if you use both; and they are all a bit different from each other. The front set of locating pins has a narrow plastic piece that the bracket will slide around and the rear pair is a wider area for the plastic locks to flip and lock to… The front set that are narrow are the ones that wore out for me.
Hopethis helps or answer your question?

count me in for a pair of the front docking points for the tourpack. Mine are worn, bought a new pair then decided to turn them before replacing them. They wore on the next trip to start rattleing again... slid tourpack up a bit, put two pieces of electric tape in slot on tourpack mount and reseated... seams to be working for last few weeks. will probably turn another 90* next time... trying to save the new ones till I HAVE to use them.

I had a couple of people that were going to send me the old set so I could price out what it would cost to fab some out of nylon or aluminium. So far I have not recieved any. I would still like to get these made, but I need a set to copy.
