Default Need Help with a Decision......

King Tour Pak or new Audio set up? I've already decided on Firecaps stuff so that isn't a decision, but I couldn't figure out which one I wanted to go with. You guys that have both might be able to help me. Which one will I use more? The bike has enough power for me and a set of Pythons are on layaway. Cost is obviously a huge different but I'm just curious which one will be used more.

King TP would be more useable. I love mine. But that being said, I dont run the TP every day yet I do use my radio every day....

Ditto, King Tour Pak. If you go the tour pak route, stay with the King, don't let someone talk you into one of the small ones. You'll be sorry if you do because of the lack of room.

Looks like I have my answer. The driver backrest is a given. I didn't even consider the chopped because they are the same price. Didn't want it to begin with but that made the decision even easier. At least now I know what to do next.

Any of you guys that have wives that don't ride, do you get that pack that rides in the passanger seat for even more storage?
