King Tour Pak/Vented lowers
Bike is ordered(09 Street Glide). Got V&H MO's and Signature Series solo seat in garage waiting for bike. Any reason not to go ahead and order color matched pak and lowers? Wife will definately want a back rest, but I figure why not get the full deal with the tour pak. I really like to looks of them on the SG. I realize it would have been cheaper to get the Ultra, but the lines look so much cleaner on the SG with less chrome. JMHO
I also figured she would be more comfortable with the pak than just the backrest..
Opinions???

If my lady read your quote above. She would have answered, "Ultimately Yes because she liked the backrest's ergonomic wraparound by holding her where she can rest or take a short nap comfortably exactly just like sitting in a Lazy Boy recliner". Used to have a RKC with somewhat flat backrest which wasn't just comfortable as the King TourPak. Also, To carry all the extras in storage which is a big 'Plus' for sure.

What you have planned will be great. I had the king tour pack mounted on my 02 RG with the locking quick detachable kit and a set of lowers. On my RG there was no chrome and I liked the minimal look of chrome.

Order it. You and her will be more comfy...........I'm with you on the Street Glide looks over the Ultra. It's all personal opinion people. We just like the non clutered look with all the Fender and Rail stuff.
I went with the Chopped Pak because my wife won't ride.

Trust me TX FB, your bike inspired me!!!!! I just can't spring for wheels right now. I am thinking that since I will already have spokes, may just go for the spoked 21" up front and leave the rear.
Can i put a 200mm on the stock rim though?

I haven't taken any with the Tour Pak and with the new rims.
"Can i put a 200mm on the stock rim though?"
I don't really know about a 200mm on a stock rim. I don't know the stock rim width.
Our '09 rear stocker is a 180 x 65 on a 16" rim.
I put on a 200 x 55, on a 17" x 6.25" (no modification needed)
If I did it again I might just get a chrome rear rim done or a blank chrome rim.
That would be close enough, basicly all you see is the edge of the rim anyway.

I'd agree the TP and lowers are a good thing. The lowers (and fairing wings, taller windshield & fork baffle) really helped me keep the wind off my 6'4 body. I also added a King Tour Pack, which works well - no complaints at all.
