Just throwing this out there, if your only going to use it a couple times a year, why not look at the ebay, amazon razor packs that are already black and save a ton of money.

Razor pack? ... Might be just as well off with a "fanny pack" ( I can't believe I just typed fanny pack ) :<(

if you don't mind vivid black, you can get a chopped tour pack off amazon, same quality as advanblack, just not painted, for less than $300.
whichever route you go, make sure that it comes with the metal reinforcing plate. the hd one does, don't know about advan, but the ones on amazon, some do, some don't.

should come with hinges and latches, you will have to buy the lock. out of 4 tour packs that i've bought from hd, i've never had to buy hinges or latches. you can buy the same mount and backrest as the advan black from amazon or eBay to save money. sure, it's gonna be substantially more if you go all hd. but nothing says that you have to go that way.

I priced the Advablack and the HD ones and still feel that the Advablack is a better value because you get the black latches, hinges, backrest, and metal plate for around the same money as the HD pack with chrome latches, hinges, and no backrest. The backrest from all others except HD is crap quality IMO we used one from HD
for as little as i'm going to be using a tour pack, i went the other route. i took my tour pack from my 2013 down, and had it painted vivid black. cost me $250. i already had all the hinges, latches, mounts, pads, etc. so i'm running an 'old' chopped tour pack on a 2019 bike. can you tell the difference? sure. does it stick out like a sore thumb? not at all. i also changed out the horn cover to the older style as well, i think the 'waterfall' cover looks like a butt with 2 legs. i much prefer the older style. but that's the route i chose.

You say the hinges and latches aren't included but in the P&A catalog it says they are. The lock kit is not included but it's like $43. Maybe you mean if you want gloss black latches and hinges that's extra, but on some of the painted offerings it may come with those, that I don't know.
I priced this all out last year and didn't see a huge advantage with going Advanblack if you are getting the tour pak painted (as someone already mentioned). Some of the reviews on YouTube show lower prices for the Advanblack than what I priced out, I don't know if they've raised their prices since those reviews or w hat.

Go to the Harley website and they will show in one of the pictures the same graphic that is in the P&A catalog book (the one you can look in or get at the dealer) that says what is included.
Actually, the P&A catalog seems to be the best source of info on Tour Paks, because it lists each size and the cost for each color offered for that year. The website doesn't really show that (not that I can find), it says "color matched" and gives the price for the base, Vivid Black, and then says to contact your dealer for other colors/prices. It does however show some models of the Tour Pak in special colors; they are like double the price of the Vivid Black versions.
