Default Detachable Backrest/ Tour pak mounts???

Hi All.

My brother-in-law has a detachable backrest on his '05 Road King. My question is if anyone makes a detachable tour pak mount that uses the same docking points as the backrest?

Thinking I may get him the leather tour pak for him for his birthday if this is possible.

Thanks!

Yes, Milwaukee Bagger makes one. Excellent product, though pricey (compared to HD two-up rack and mounting hardware cost). Here's the link to my recent installation with pictures:

Dustmaker,
Your sig. pic looks like it was taken just outside of Cripple Creek ... yes ?

I am not sure where the pic is from. It is a HDForum member that was a good friend that passed away last week.

You would think that Harley would have made the tourpak rack and backrest to use the same set of docking points. A lot of their accessory designs are suspect to say the least. I wish I had known about these before. Those tourpak mounting hoops are not that attractive.

Ha Dustmaker, my BD is at the end of the month I would really like something like that also.
