Tour Pack Tether
Went out this morning to load up for work and opened up the TP lid and it went right on over........the retractable tether I put on a year and a half or so ago broke. Heart sank a little thnking the side of the TP might of cracked but the hinges caught it ( premium hinges that is) and no damage. So I guess I just wanted to mention that those tethers can let go, retrtactable or not and might should get replaced or at least looked at every now and then.

Sometimes Less Is More
You're not the first and undoubtedly won't be the last. I don't even "trust" my stock cable, hence I ALWAYS open it up carefully. Lots of posts in here about the retractable ones breaking. Sometimes less is more!

My bike has a strut the previous owner put on it. Just a two piece bar with a rivet as a hinge in the middle to fold. I like it and doubt it will ever break. I don't know who makes them.

I went to the parts counter at my HD dealer last year and told them I wanted to buy the retractable tether for my tourpak.
He said we don't sell them and don't stock them.
Too many people complaining of them breaking and snapping off the lid.
He said he'd order me one if I really wanted it, but would highly discourage me from buying it. I passed.
