I went with a PacJack; it's on order so I won't know until it arrives; it's a gas-powered shock - http://pakjack.com/
Another product is the Ultra brace - http://www.jpcycles.com/product/840-011 which is more a snap open metal brace.
Both around $80 shipped.

Because its a hinge instead of a tether the lid is far less likely to be blown closed while its open. The hinge has a perfect amount of friction to hold the lid open against windy conditions.
I like it alot.

I installed one of HD Retractable tour-pak cords on my Ultra. The other day the cord itself broke and allowed my lid to fold all the way back.I had the lid open when it broke and the bike was in the garage at the time. I think I got luck it wasn't outside with wind because this could have damaged my trunk very easily.
I was wondering if anyone else has had trouble with the cord breaking etc. If you have one of these yourself, look your cable over well and often for wear because if it breaks like mine did your lid will fold open backwards and can cause damage.

I have one on my bike and am concerned it will break at some point. The diameter is pretty small.
