OK, I'm stumped. I never had a "tour pack" and thought they all were made for 2-up riding. NOW I see this? What is this set up that is meant for solo riding?
Hey Rodeo,
I replyed to your PM, and I will say it again here for anyone else that may be wondering. It is a detachable solo tour pak mount that I purchase right from the Harley dealer, they had to order it. I tried last week to look up he part numbers, but could not find them on the web site. I would check with your dealer, I'm sure they can order it for you. It mounts to the detachable passenger backrest hardware. Its a great set up for the long hauls!
On mine you have to have a solo saddle on in order to use the solo tour pack bracket, would have been nice if they had made it a touch higher so that it would have worked with the stock seat. I put a solo Mustang on mine and have the rear pass section that hooks up to it, so it's pretty easy for me to change out beween my different setups. My wife likes it on when I go bar hopping with my buddy to play pool, no loose women allowed, she's to good a shot lol!

That was going to be my next question, is that set up comfortable for the rider and is there any adjustment front to back etc?
(Harder to lift your leg over the saddle though I can imagine huh?) Is that pack remavable or permanently mounted?
Extremely comfortable for the rider, especially with the wrap around pad. It is removable, and there is slight adjustment in the mount, by changing the holes you use to mount it. I don't try to lift my leg over it, I just slip my leg though its a little different at first, but you get used to it rather quickly
I've had trouble with the stock front wheel-shaped bushings for years so I bought Gilbo's billet aluminum and haven't had a problem in over a year. The stock bushings are plastic-covered brass and don't last forever. At $5 each from HD it made more sense to me to pay $25 for Gilbo's bushings and be done with it. I don't see these wearing out anytime soon.
I didn't get the rear barrel-shaped bushings, which are another $25, but he has them all.
I just installed the hardware and a leather CVO tour pak yesterday on the SG. It looks starp and the wife loves it put the hardware was a real pain to get installed and set up. The sissy bar goes on and off so easy and the tour pak seems like one of the four points is just not right and I have looked at everything a dozen times. Those billet bushings look like a huge improvement for sure. I may give them a try.
