That's a good looking setup to me. Guess we always want what we don't have

To tell you the truth, I don't like how the chopped tour pak looks, maybe cause I'm used to the King.

Ace, I'm not sure three pictures of your bike are enough for me to comment; it sure looks like you have a King Tour Pak on the bike, but I'm just not sure.

If a bud has a chopped tour pak on a detachable rack, perhaps you can borrow it for a test ride and see how the wife likes it. Ditto if your dealer has one in stock.

Or simply have the wife use a gel pad or equivalent to raise her seating position relative to the tour pak. That extra space in the King is significant and useful.

The chopped tour pack must be just a looks thing because I'm not sure that short of a pizza, I couldn't get everything you could put in a chopped tour pack into a side saddle bag.
