My opinon,

I LOVE The look of the chopped tour pak. Especially on a Street Glide (which I have)

But remember, not only will you loose space, regardless of which backrest you put on (chopped or full wrap) the chopped tour pack will have the top of the backrest 3" lower than the same backrest on a king tour pak.

The higher up her back the backrest goes, the better supported she will be, and the more she will be able to relax, which makes her more comfortable (generally speaking). Even if the "armrests" are not in the correct position for here (as they often are not) they do seem to provide a bit of a "secure" feeling to the passenger.

Remember that passengers don't have handlebars to hang onto, like we do. That backrest plays a HUGE part in their comfort back there.

Also if you ever decide to add rear speakers, your SOL with the chopped tourpak, unless you fab something custom.

 

Heres mine and the wife loves it of course it looks more sleek and appropriate on my street glide, and storage capacity is fine...Just my 2 cents

 

i asked the expert she says bigger shopping bag is better(king pack)with the longer armrestes (mustangbackpad).

 

I put the King pak with the wrap around on my SG and she loves it , said I might need to puy a seatbelt on the bike in case she falls asleep

 

I want to ad a chopped tour pack to a trike, what brand of tour pack is best built and will last the longest. Thank you for any help....Rich

 

Hum, sorry but I don't see the point!

you lose the space of the king pack

you lose the sleek style of the chopped pak

for me and IMHO king pack all the way!

 

I'm going to throw in some input:
I have a "Razor" tour pack on my road king that I added a couple years ago.
AdvanBlack makes a wrap around style back rest for Razor and chopped tourpack lids.
(As well as King tourpacks).

Just put it on last week, but due to recent rotator cuff surgery, my riding season is over so we can not try it out yet.

But I will say that it will definitely be much more comfortable for her compared to the small backrest.
Pics attached:

 

that bike looks good, with both set ups what color is it?

 

Thank you!!
It's a custom mixed candy apple red over a silver base.

 

Oooops...

Got suckered into another long dead thread...

Nevermind...
