Top tip- After installing mine on the HD removable mount ( I used the full wrap around HD passenger backrest ) , I found that I could use a little more room for my wife and I so I got the Karyaken ( whatever the hell the brands called) relocation kit and moved the pack back about 4 inches. It was perfect then.

i've always gone with the oem tour packs since i've had to get color matched and buying them from a discounter made the price difference negligible. but since hd has discontinued online discounts, there is a greater gap in the price difference. if i needed vivid black though, i think i would go with the tcmt one off amazon for a couple hundred bucks, and upgrade the hardware with oem hardware. for the couple of times a year that i used the tour pack, that would suffice for me. now, if it was to be kept on the bike most of the time, i would probably suck it up and go oem.
there's nothing that says that you can't save a few bucks by buying some knock off stuff combined with oem too. my docking hardware is knockoff, with oem bushings. the mounting rack is knock off, my tour pack and backrest are oem. on my tcmt lowers, i use hd hardware, with hd glove boxes and they are virtually indistinguishable from oem. i didn't do it to try to fool anyone, i just don't care for the rough texture of the knockoff lowers vs the rubberized feel of oem.

Ive had two bikes with one year colors back to back in 20 and 22 that I ordered HD tour paks for.
The aftermarket folks didnt do the factory graphics for the 20, or the two tone with pinstripe of the 22.
I priced them out just using solid colors and after market tour paks. The savings would have been only incremental.

I already had H-D docking hardware on my bike. When I decided to add the tour pack for when my wife joins me I bought an H-D tour pack mount and then an Advanblack King tour pack w/ luggage rack. We're very happy with this combination.
Here's a review of an Advan Black tour pack:

I have TCMT lowers on my RK and they work perfectly, no any issue with them.
It will cost me about $1,450 (chopped TP, pad, and rack, shipping and tax included) if I order them from Utah HD or $1,422 plus tax if I order them from local dealer. May not need the rack as my friend gave me one from Amazon. Will see.
Does HD TP come with the base plate?

I've seen many posts on here from folks who bought the chopped pack and wish they'd gone for the bigger one.

I order the HD tour paks because the after market folks dont offer some of the paint jobs that come from the moco.
My Stiletto Red Street Glide had graphics on top of the pak to match the rest of the bike, and my Road Glide is two tone with a wide pinstrip.

what color do you need? black? then you can get a good deal from amazon. same as advanblack or hogworkz. do you need color matched? then i would recommend oem. there is not enough of a price savings to go with the reduced quality of the cheap chinese ones (which other than oem, they all are). my opinion only. ymmv.
