Default Covering Odd Tour Pak Lid Holes?

Any idea what might be used to cover the tour pak lid holes that looks decent and would be waterproof or at least water resistant?

Double back tape on red 1.5 x 3 red reflectors from the trailer section in walley world or northern. Looks like my sheetrock wall when I look for a stud

I agree with the suggestion about reflectors. Find something that looks presentable and use 3M outdoor double sided foam tape to adhere.

I bought a secondhand tourpak and removed some of the things mounted on it. I filled the holes with araldite and let it set before repainting. Covering with reflectors is a great idea, but I suggest you fill the holes first.

All purpose duct tape

Or you can buy a new lid.

Red reflective tape like they use on trucks a trailers you could cut a piece that matches the contour so you wouldn't have the square peg in a round hole look.

Here in a option at Autozone about $10.00

Me too! I am looking at buying the trunk, the seller bought it years ago and the holes were there then.

My interest in buying the trunk is it matches my bike without painting so any option that requires painting is out.

The reflector idea might work.

Keep the ideas coming!
