I'm digitaly challenged at this time. Seems like I spent all my extra script on the bike. Pope bisect is on the web from some shapers. This one is just an add on to the family quiver. Keep it stored at a friends house in Santa Cruz. Too much "localism" going on there to use a nice minimally dinged board. The bisect has been rode hard-put away wet too many times to care or get excited about.

MY advice? Add a chrome washer on TOP of the lid and under the mounting posts....Wing riders do that because sometimes weight on the rack causes cracks....easy enough to do and you may as well do it during the install....easy and very trick!

Mac: Thanks, much appreciated. Like I was saying before, I was stressing myslef out over drilling the tour-pak, but after the first hole, I was ready to drill the hell out of anything!!!
nmfxstc: That chrome washer idea sounds super, I just wish I would have read your post prior to installing it!

RE: Premium Tour-Pak Luggage Rack
I still haven't got mine on yet - Dammmm responsiblities! - anyway - I love the chrome washer idea - Do you replace the rubber ones that come with or use in addition? - Dozer - the instructions mention applying sealant - Did you do that step? Anyone know what type of sealant they are reffering too?

I used a 5/8" chrome washer under the post and a small rubber washer under the 5/8" one....looks cool...just make sure you know how much room you have so you don't overlap the washer on the trunk lip. It helps spread weight a bit (think of a stiletto high heel shoe stabbing down on you versus a nice 1" heel)....
