tour pak mounting problem
I have an 01 RK. I recently bought a chopped tour pak from a buddy. On my RK I have a detachable back rest. The tour pak it looks like needs another docking point installed farther back than where the backrest snaps in. I dont really want to add another docking point. Does harley make a bracket that I can bolt to the chopped tour pak and still use my existing docking points and still enable me to carry a passenger?
Thanks in advance.

On my '99 Road King I had to install two sets of docking points. A rear set for the rack and a forward set for the backrest. I believe you must install the rear set for the detachable tour pak rack if you want to carry a passenger.

RE: tour pak mounting problem
There is no way around it, you DO need to buy the tourpak (rear) docking points. The link you posted is the rack needed to make a fixed tourpak a detatchable tourpak and with that you need to add the rear docking points.

RE: tour pak mounting problem
Regardless of the quick detatch rack you use, it will require the front and rear docking kit (as previously mentioned). I actually use a permanent tour pack rack that has 5 bolts holding the chopped pack on. I leave this rack in place removing the 5 bolts when I want to use just the tall QD sissy bar (very rarely). I think you'll find once you get use to a tour pack, you won't want to be without it very often.
