Anyone out there had any experience with the "Matazu" tour pack. Thery say they have OEM colors and will mount on the Harley quick disconnect rack.

Spelled correctly I believe it is Mutazu--and you will get a lot of posts on this using the search function. I've had one for almost three years for occasional use for trips and consider it a great value for money.
If you read the posts, you will probably find that the favorable views run 25:1 or better.

"UGLY"--IMO non of the TP's are attractive on the bike (and I have both the Mutazu and Ultra boxes). But it's funny that with an attractive HD metal medallion on my Mutazu I got compliments on it, asked where it was in the HD catalog, which HD dealer did I get it from, etc.LOL!!!
It holds about 85% of what the King TP holds, but weights about 1/3 the weight; which is appreciated when removing/installing the box on the bike. As long as the application doesn't include mounting a luggage rack, many find it a very, very good value.
For me, it's a helluva lot easier seeing a 110 dollar box in my garage than the 900 Ultra TP sitting there next to it. And when they are on the bike for a trip, I'm not looking at it, and it comes off when I get to where I'm going.
They aren't for everyone, that's for sure; but for occasional trip use--they're hard to beat for the money.

I have one permanently mounted on my RK. Used the fixed mount that comes standard on the Ultra. Less expensive than the detachable, and does not have the problem the detachables have of vibrating the rubber bushings flat leaving the TP to rattle.
Here is a link of a thread that has more details.

Have had mine for over 6 months now and it is great. Tomorrow I am installing a rack on the lid.
