Quick detach tourpak advice?
Hi all, just wondering if someone on here that has a quick detach setup for their tourpak can tell me what I need to order? I know I have to get mounting bracket and docking kit but do I also need a wiring harness? Anything else?

Yeah, you need to accept the shaking and rattling that comes with it and your passenger bitching about itvibrating and slapping her in the back, and be prepared to replace the plastic bushings at least once per season.

I am three seasons into a detachable on a Road King. I have never had problems with passenger complaints or worn bushings. YMMV

Whether you need a wiring harness depends upon what bike you have. I also had to have an antenna relocation kit, but again, that's bike dependent.
If you're buying the tourpack new, make sure you're getting all the hardware--latches, lock, etc. It may be different now, but when I bought mine in 06 the lock for the lid was optional and extra. Like you might just want to have a 1/2 inch hole there....

My Tour-Pak was added on afterwards. I just purchased a light kit for it and it has a plug in cable to hook up the power with. No radio, so I couldn't tell you about antennas.

It won't shake or vibrate more than the bike, I have one and love it. When I ordered the kit, I ordered the tour pack, the hardware to mount to the tour pack, the back rest, and the docking hardware, I have an FLTRX so I didn't have the tour pack to start. If you have a parts person at the dealer that's worth anything, they should be able to tell you everything you need, not to mention the catalog also tells you some of the parts you will need.

Rock steady. I have never had the Vibration problem nor needed to replace the rubber bushings.
This after three years and 45K miles.
