The new tour pak is for her. She has MS and it may help her comfort level on the bike...hopefully. That is why we are gonna test ride one that has it. I am just hoping that I don't break and buy a whole new bike
She will really like the tour pak. I had a det. backrest for the first 4 years on my old RK and bought the det. tour pak for extra storage for a long bike trip. Once she rode with the tour pak, she refused to ride unless I put it on. My wife said the difference is lazy-boy vs. lawn chair. Its a great investiment, and well worth the money for your rider. When I started looking to buy a new bike, the only thing she cared about was that it had to have a tour pak.

I am truly sorry to hear this.
You MUST get the tourpak, and you MUST spend as much quality time with her as you can.
I watched a guy I knew go from being an athlete to chair ridden in 2-3 years, and 3-4 years later, he died. MS is plain evil.
Life is too short.....do as much as you can, while you can....Life takes no prisoners.
God bless, prayers sent for your wife, you, and your family.

My wife says riding on the back of our RGU is more comfortable than sitting on any of the funtiture in our house (and no, she does not want new furniture).
Be scared......
Just order a tourpak and hardware. Much cheaper than the hit you will take on the trade and ititial depreciation. Good luck.
Perhaps you would prefer I use the description or term "present bike" instead of old....my fault, I'm sorry. RGU will have 103, dual exhaust and abs brakes, which the latter may save his life. Go for it if you want it and can afford it.
