Tour Pack tether mod
I replaced the stock Tour Pack tether almost as soon as I bought my bike. The standard one got left hanging out of the Tour Pack almost every time I shut it. However, the tiny little cable on the retractable one seemed hardly strong enough to hold the lid. I was always worried about it breaking. So, I bought a second one and mounted it opposite of the other one. Now, it's double tethered and never in the way.
I just drilled a hole in the lit side bracket and mounted the cable end with a bushing, nut, bolt and washer. On the tub side, I took the right most bolt and nut out of the mount for the little padded curtain under the passenger backrest and put in a longer one with a coupe of nuts as spacers. Works like a champ! KEWEL!

On our '12 when we got it, the tether would lip out almost every time we closed the lid so I took it loose figured out which way it was twisted to give it that direction and twisted it back a half turn from the installed set, works fine now and pulls itself into the bag everytime.
