Thanks for the review. Ive been looking at buying one of these (solo setup) for a bit but havent quite decided if I really need one. Same with the lowers. Maybe Ill give it another look.
I ride solo 100% of the time and when doing week long trips, I have a solo H-D luggage rack and a First Down luggage bag which has been adequate so far. I do like the look with the tour pack and it could help with quick grocery and/ or beer runs though.

Thank you, and yes, I installed the plate too.

I should also note that the yellow dry bag strapped to the top wasn't very heavy. It has 2 full face helmets, 2 sets of rain gear, a wool army blanket and a heavy jacket. For a cheap Amazon rack it's holding up really well.
Anybody that gets this tour pack won't be disappointed. I changed several things but am still well under the cost of an HD version.

Update on Tour Pack
I just completed a round trip from San Antonio to Louisville. Only complaint was that the latch seemed to vibrate loose.
Following cues from other forum members, I ordered the genuine HD hardware. During the installation, I noticed one bolt had backed all the way out, and another was held in place solely by the liner. Loc-Tite seems to be a necessity!
So far looks good, performs good. (And saved $100s!)

I had considered one. This long(er) term review will definitely weigh into my choice. Thanks for the update. Seriously.

It gives me a lot more reason to ride my bike in instances where I otherwise wouldn't. Going to pick up a large pizza or two? Take the bike. Going for groceries? Take the bike. I can fit 4x 12-packs of Coke in the TP with some room to stuff things around/on top of them.
I thought the height inside the TP would be a limiting factor, but rarely had any issues. I have an Igloo Playmate hard-sided lunchbox/cooler and it easily fits (on its side, it's about 8.5" tall) in the chopped TP, then room around it for other things too. The only thing that hasn't fit in the TP is my FF helmet.
I still haven't gotten around to replacing the lock with a harley one that matches my other locks - I don't ever lock the thing lol

Wife and I are leaving for the coast Friday morning. They say with shipping it would be in by Thursday. I went ahead and ordered and I got the plate as well. Hopefully it comes in before I have to hit the road. She rides her own bike, but I'll be the pack mule.
