King Tour Pack Question
I've searched with no luck so am hoping for some help.
I own a 2011 RKC that I'd like to buy a hard HD King Tour Pack for.
HD website states specific variation is required for a particular model and year touring bike. I'd have thought they were all the same...
Aren't all the tour packs the same with different quick-disconnect mounting based on model year?
Any help/feedback would be greatly appreciated.....

They are very dufferent
98-05 are fiberglass 06-08 Are in their own little world 09 and up have different mount grooves. 05 mount won't fit without mods also they are black abs not fiber glass. Have bought and sold over 20 paks in last year from 76-2011 many changes and options.

I would like to find a good used (correct) tour pack to have painted with a set of hard bags I've bought.

If you are set up with the 4 point system on your bike, shouldn't be too hard to get what you need.

I've got a mid-80s gf tourpak and 2010 abs bags on my 1990 bike, in other words a little adaptation can make things fit. Glassfibre is stiffer than abs, so one reason the later abs tourpak is different may simply be to strengthen it. While it is obviously 'safer' to buy one intended for your bike, I'm sure someone here can advise on any problems with fitting an earlier version.

Fwiw, I'd go with the ABS pack over the glass one. The ABS is flimsier, but it is also more forgiving. You can bend the ABS without cracking it. Not so much with the glass ones.

When ever you buy a box make sure it has the steal plate in the inside bottom...Dont know why guys take them out and dont put them back in but it is very important for strength of box.
If you find one thats YOUR COLOR and in good shape and price range jump on it!! You will be saving 3-4hun to get a quallity paint job.To do it right its alot of work...AND good work dont come cheap!!!
Also look at the price of a new rack,backrest pad,liner,speakers,..all adds up..If you find a good used box with these options for a good price thats also a plus.
Good Luck...
