Default Tour Pak Question

Anyone use the Ultra Brace from EGlide Goodies. Is it worth $80? I've seen similar braces used for like toy box lids, ect at Lowes for a fraction of the cost. Wonder how they compare?

I haven't used that one.
If your trying to address the issue of the tether getting pinched between the lid and the box there are other solutions.
I disconnected one end of my tether, twisted the cable so that it falls into the tour pack rather than outside of the tour pack. Also Harley now has a retractable tether that a few people have posted on this forum.

I installed the ultra brace a few years ago after reading about others having the cable snap and the lid falling off

is it worth $80? depends on how much you value 'insurance' LOL, I think the peace of mind was worth it compared to replacing the damage that could be
