I looked at the EGoodie's tour pak brace but wasn't sure how it would work when you have the Tour Pak cramded full since it has to fold down into the pour pak. Thought it might get bent or tangled up. It does look sturdy though.

Thanks for all the positive info on this. I have one stuck in the wife's stocking…she'll get it later today. Retractable tether, that is...

Take the bottom of the factory cable and rotate a full circle, then when you close the lid the cable lays down inside the tourpack everytime, 2 second fix. Got that idea from the DIY section, hehe. Happy Holidays from Iraq everyone. Stay safe.

New hinges are a given!
Once installed and you see another bike with the $1.98 hinges from Home Depot it's a great laugh!!!
Now the problem is remembering which side is the hinge and which side is the latch!
Have the teather installed, haven't had a chance to really use it much yet, kept the factory cable in the bottom of the tour pack for now!
