I emailed Saddlemen. I know they make seats and covers for everything. I'm hoping I'm not the first person to want this. Maybe they already have the dimensions and are able to make the cover. I also asked if they made a complete back rest that would fit in the Advanblack pre-drilled holes. I'll let you know what they say.
Received my Advanblack Chopped Tour-Pak today. Vivid black matches perfect, very quality paint job. The black hardware is nice and glossy and matches the saddle bag latches. Overall it seems like really good quality, and pretty easy to put on the mount and install. The back rest pad also seems decent and adequate.
I ordered the Saddlemen LS tour-pak back rest seat cover to go with it, in hopes of matching my Saddlemen seat. It looks like the Saddlemen cover is meant to fit the Harley tour-paks. Its dimensions are just a little off from Advanblack's. Unfortunately, I'll have to rock the unmatching Advanblack back rest pad and cover.
Thanks for the update!
How is the teeter thing? Does it look similar to HD? Also, how would you compare it to HD tour pack?

The tether? It seems quality, holds well. I'm can't really compare the Advanblack to the HD tour-pak. I've never owned the HD tpur-pak and have only seen them on bikes in the dealership. Given the price difference though, I'm happy with the Advanblack for sure.

Just ask saddlemen if they can supply some of the material of your seat covering and get a local seat person to make a cover for you.
I got my seat covered at a local bike event and they also covered my advanblack tour pac backrest to match

Thats a good idea. I may do just that. Thank you!
Wonder what lead times are right now from Advanblack for color matched parts? (not in-stock Vivid Black)
I contacted Advanblack due to my damaged tour pac, even though over 3 years out of warranty they still agreed to replace it free of charge.
Mine existing one was Candy Hot Rod Red Flake which is a limited special colour from Harley, they delivered my replacement within A WEEK!!! I was very surprised! This was right after Christmas!
My king tour pack (vivid black) was delivered with a damaged lid. They are sending me a new lid but it has been stuck in Hong Kong for 7 days with no movement. I'm glad it's not riding season
