When I ride to work I put my brief case and laptop in it since they won't fit in the hard saddlebags. I went with the slightly smaller smooth tour pak for the size and weight and cost effective approach. It doesn't come off!!
Absol-freakin-lutely! Put one (detachable) on my Road King to match the hard saddle bags and when I moved to an '09 FLTR, it was the VERY FIRST accessory I bought.
I just got one used and I like it alot already, just going to the store and getting what I want and having the room for it is cool. Going to be nice on my next trip to take what I need, not have to strap it down and be able to secure it. I can now also take a two-up trip and not worry about how I'm going to pack. I always knew I wanted one and was waiting to find one at a good price, not sure I would have waited so long if I knew how usefull it was and I think my lady is going to enjoy it too.
Now I have to wire the side-marker lights with quick disconnect connectors and it's done.
PS not sure of the year of the Tourpac but it came off a 1999 and there is a 2002 sticker inside and it bolted right up to the 09 rack with no modification, maybe I got lucky.
Groceries are the only reason I can ride with my wife's permission. Far from being any humor and try to get groceries with out the tour pak! It's THE most essential part of my Road King Classic!
