Tour-Pak Questions
just got back from a weekend trip on my 10 SG and decided it's time to get that Tour-Pak from LSHD. But first I have some questions for those of you that have them already. Plan on using it with the solo mount, will I have to relocate the antenna? Was getting the chopped pak but after this trip I'm thinking about the King for the extra space but I hate the look of the armrest style backrest. Can I use the smaller chopped style backrest instead? Or what about nothing at all? And most important of all it's now approx 8wks till I leave for sturgis should I get it in time if I order today? Someone once told me the vivid black Paks usually take a little less time to get, is this true? Thanx for your help..

Get the detach kit with it…….you'll be very glad you did.
King over chopped for sure.
As far as LSHD (they're great), email Bill Sparks (LSHD1, internet orders side of the dealer) and explain your situation, he might be able to give answers.
They advertise 6-8 weeks for painted items, so you'll be cutting it close.
I wonder if this would be an option for you? See if it's available primed only (I don't know if it is), you'll get it faster, then take to local painter to get sprayed.
Or………buy a nice one on eBay (any color) then have it sprayed in town.
You have options.

Order it painted.......you will get it in time. I just ordered one, and in 2 weeks it was here.
The tour pak is ugly no matter what..........Order the King Pak!!!!
I have only ordered 1 time from LSHD1, Didn't have very good luck. I get a 15% discount from my dealer, so I will just keep ordering from him.

The King TP lid comes pre-drilled for the backrest (w/ armrests). You can use the backrest for a chopped TP, but will need to drill holes to mount it and you will have two holes visible on each side where the regular backrest would mount--you can use plugs (available at Home Depot, etc.) to fill the holes.

I bought one on E-Bay and saved five hundred dollars. Same color as my bike. I went with the detachable mount. I had it within a week.

Mine did not come with the rubber cargo mat like it is suppose too. I can't image dealing with LSHD for an issue like this. I had problems with my oil temp gauge. I left them voice messages, and sent emails, never returned a one. So, its one simple fix........I won't buy from them again, and for sure not a high dollar, non returnable item.
Just my thoughts, and what do I know.....

Be sure to order the tour pak lock keyed to match your bike's key.
Also, the tour pak will come with an antenna mount if you order the one for the FLHX. You may want to consider ordering the tour pak for the FLHR/FLHT/FLHXXX which won't have the antenna mount.
