Default Tour pack mount

Can anyone recommend a good tour pack mount for a topshop chopped tour pack for my 2017 streetglide? Are there any comparable store oem or better? Thanks

I bought a mount from Amazon and will be replacing it with the H-D one in the future. The H-D docking hardware and mounts are much better quality than the aftermarket ones I've seen.

Tour-pak rack needed to be bent slightly to fit the docking hardware. and the hardware that came with the docking system is cheap. Paint is also very easy to scratch. Don't recommend it.

one I purchased.

I agree, I bought the aftermarket and it was pure garbage. the aftermarket tourpack was fine. even the latches and hinges are good.

i bought the knockoff docking hardware and replaced the mount bushings with genuine hd ones. virtually the same as hd, but less than 1/2 the cost.

I got the hOGWORZK Quick detach hardware and mount for my 2015 Ultra and it seems to be good so far.

Yes, the H-D docking hardware and luggage rack is significantly better quality. I tried to save a few bucks and it wasn't worth it.

i tried to save a few bucks, and i found it totally worth it. amazon docking hardware, $30. hd bushings, $40. total: $70. through hd, $165. i'm good with it. can't tell the difference between this and hd, except maybe in a couple of years the chrome may peel, or maybe not.

Read too many stories about dissatisfied folks with aftermarket mounts. So I went with HD mounts and an Advanblack tour pack. I'm very satisfied.
