Default Tourpak
So, I got a new Tourpak from Harley,what do you plug all the holes with as I am not applying a backrest.There's six small holes and one big hole.A trip to the hardware store is in my future.

Put a backrest pad on it. Either you can use it in a solo position or your passenger will use it. DOH!

the holes for speaker box are 7/16" [if i remember] plastic plugs with a little sealant from any home improvement, for the cable holes rubber grommets 3/4" i think some places have grommets with skin in middle.

Used those hole plugs from Home Depot. Little silicone sealant inside the tourpack and they never came out. Also primed and used touch up paint to match and they pretty much disappeared unless you got up close.

Why not add the backrest? With that over top, it takes care of the holes.

The backpad takes up room between my backrest on my solo seat and the tourpak,I need the room for tent,sleeping bag and sleeping pad.I have never had a two-person seat or a passenger,ever.I'll use the tourpak for packing items that I need to get to easily.Once I have the camping gear strapped down it's a real pain to access the saddlebags.Much thought has gone into this set-up as I've tried different bags and racks.This should be my final set-up.
