Tour paks - Chopped or King?
#22
You guys are good, great points both ways! I was afraid of that. And now, even more decisions.
Pick one Pak or get both?
Solo rack or 2 up rack?
Bush or shaven?
Is partially shaven and neatly kept available?
Facts are, the only time it will be used is long distance traveling. I do a lot of overnighters, sometimes 2 up and on occasion have been packed to the hilt in the past, camping gear, cold weather gear, etc. How cool does it look when out of room, or when it's just sitting in the garage.
If only the Chopped was a dollar cheaper, I could at least say I saved money! Just ordered the King but, getting both is starting to sound better. Damn!
Thanks guys

I eventually picked up a used chopped pak to mount in the solo position that I like much more visually but when doing long touring rides the king gets put back on but is now on a 2up mount even though my wife rides her own but at times we have my 15 yr old son come on trips with us during the summer and the extra packing space comes in so handy over the chopped pak.

I had the Chopped on my Road Glide and liked the looks. Although it would not hold a full face or 3/4 helmet, it held the half helmet fine.
I have the King on my Ultra Classic, and the increased capacity is nice. It will easily hold two full face helmets.
I think the King looks fine on the Ultra Classic, because you expect to see it and the other stuff on that bike makes is look natural.
On the Street Glide, I think the Chopped would look better.
Don't know anything about shaved or bush, but definitely prefer shaken, not stirred.

i had the chopped on my road king, and added the chopped to my road glide. but, my wife rides her own bike, so we added a chopped to hers as well. figure if we can't fit what we need in 4 saddlebags, and 2 chopped tourpaks, then we don't really need it.

That "wrap around" arm-rest and luggage rack on the king is pretty dorky lookin' if you ask me?
I think that the chopped looks much better w/out a luggage rack too. I gotta luggage rack but took it off.
Don't need it lookin' like a station wagon. lolol..
Looks more stream-lined, even for a bagger.
Whatcha think, and it's a chopped one too?
