RE: Tourpak Issue
I just had a bad incident this week that could've been a LOT worse. \\; After spending a week riding and camping with my son... we're on our way home... \\;

RE: Tourpak Issue
about 15 miles from the house, on the Capital Beltway, 1 mile from the Maryland border... when the boy says into the intercom... "Hey Dad, is the tourpak supposed to move?"

RE: Tourpak Issue
Needless to say, I pulled over as quickly as I safely could. \\; The tourpak was leaning back a little... looked underneath and found that the main support bar was cracked on both sides all the way through.

RE: Tourpak Issue
Thank God we didn't get hurt... hell, if he'd been leaning back, damn. \\; Anyway, got the part (53801-98) at the only dealer who had it in stock in MD, VA, and PA (Elkridge HD) for $80.

RE: Tourpak Issue
Just thought you'd want to check your own. \\; The dealer said he'd never heard of one breaking in over 30 years in the business. \\; I know I've never even considered looking at that part.

RE: Tourpak Issue
I check bolts all the time... just never look at that support bar under the tourpak. \\; And, no, I don't overload the tourpak with heavy weight. \\; Seriously though, check yours today!
