Best Aftermarket Harley Tour Pack: King, Chopped and Razor Compared

Fits: Harley Touring 2014-2025 Road King, Road Glide, Street Glide, Electra Glide and select CVO. Check your year and model before ordering.

The one Amazon kit that ships the parts everything else leaves out. Two-up detachable mounting rack, inner base plate, top luggage rack, wrap-around backrest and a carpet liner, all in the same box as the trunk. Everywhere else in this guide those are three separate orders.

That alone makes it the sensible starting point, and the reports from owners who got a complete box are strong. A 2022 Street Glide Special owner: "This fit absolutely perfect so so much cheaper than buying directly from Harley and paying just for the name. I travel a lot and this fits a full helmet comes off quickly." Another: "Great looking tour pack, identical to OEM for a fraction of the price."

70 litres and 13.7 inches deep puts it in genuine King territory, and the wrap-around backrest rather than a small pad is the right choice for two-up riding.

Now the honest part, and it is the reason for the 4.1 rating rather than a higher one. Missing parts show up in these reviews more than they should: "Missing chrome rack and base plate for your pack." One owner's supplied rack did not fit the 2018 Road Glide the listing named and he bought a $209 replacement. There is no drilling template and no instructions of any kind. And there is no wiring harness, which one buyer flags directly.

Buy it, then inventory the box against the listing the day it lands, while you can still return it.

What owners say: “This fit absolutely perfect so so much cheaper than buying directly from Harley and paying just for the name. I travel a lot and this fits a full helmet comes off quickly. - Cory Jines, 2022 Street Glide Special”

Fits: 2014 and later Harley Touring - Road King, Road Glide, Street Glide, Electra Glide, Ultra Classic. Owners also report fitting it to Softail, Sport Glide and Indian frames with the right mount.

The best rated King pack in this roundup, and the paint is the reason people keep it. Trunk, backrest, luggage rack and latch in the box. No mounting rack, no base plate, no docking hardware.

The most useful review here does the arithmetic for you. An owner who mounted it to an Indian: "All in all, I saved about $1,700 going with this trunk setup instead of the OEM and it will be fully functional and ready for my next road trip after some very minor waterproofing." Another, more simply: "Can not tell the difference in this or the OEM model. You will need to order the metal backing plate and the mounting hardware for this."

Note that both of those owners say the same thing about what is missing.

Three practical warnings. Nothing is drilled - not the backrest, not the dock: "No holes drilled for the back rest or the dock." The luggage rack holes did not match the trunk for one owner and needed a bench vise to persuade. And it is not sealed as delivered: "I had to order some black RTV sealant to touch up where the holes were drilled for the luggage rack because there were no rubber washers included."

One rating of concern in the reviews, and it is the category's standard failure: a lid that "when latched and locked can still be opened by pushing on the lid or when riding comes open." Budget the replacement latch.

What owners say: “All in all, I saved about $1,700 going with this trunk setup instead of the OEM and it will be fully functional and ready for my next road trip after some very minor waterproofing. - Mitch P”

Fits: 2014 and later Road King, Road Glide, Street Glide, Electra Glide Standard, select CVO and 2021-later FLH. Does NOT fit FLRT. Docking hardware is a separate purchase.

This one earns its place for what it says rather than what it hides. The listing is explicit on all three of the things that catch buyers out: docking hardware is a separate purchase, the holes must be re-drilled for both the top rack and the backrest, and no install instructions are supplied. The fitment table goes down to individual model codes including FLTRXST and FLHXST for 2022-2023.

It also includes the two-up mounting rack as well as the top luggage rack, which most packs at this price do not. And it is a variant without speaker holes, so there are no vents for rain to come through.

A 2020 Road Glide owner sums up the trade honestly: "A fraction of the cost of OEM and a lot less that HogWorks. Took some measuring to mount the Lugage rack and mounting plate. Measure 4 times, drill once. Not as good of quality, but I only use it for bout 3000 miles a year."

The rating is 3.9 and the reason is not the product design, it is fulfilment. Three separate buyers report the same shortage. "What is missing: -Direction -bolts -quick detachable rack -luggage rack - zero holes drilled for back rest." "It was missing the tour pack luggage rack and the tour pack mount." "Got the package missing parts the rack and the mounting bracket didn't come in."

One of them draws the conclusion that ought to be on every listing in this category: "At this point it may be worth spending the money for the Harley one."

Only 20 ratings, so treat that sample with care - but check the box on arrival.

What owners say: “A fraction of the cost of OEM and a lot less that HogWorks. Measure 4 times, drill once. - Douglas, 2020 Road Glide”

Fits: 2014 and later Harley Touring - Road King, Road Glide, Street Glide, Electra Glide, Ultra Classic. Sold in variants WITH and WITHOUT speaker holes - read the variant carefully.

The chrome-hardware King pack, and the cheapest full-size option here at around $250. Wrap-around backrest with upper and lower cushions, free carpet liner, chrome latches and chrome top rail rather than black.

Where it gets good: "This is a quality after market product. I bought it to replace our original tour pak which broke from operator error. the fit of the pre drilled holes was perfect. the paint is high quality. no one has noticed that is not original."

Where it goes wrong is the variant question, and this is the listing that makes the case for reading it twice. Some versions arrive with the light bar, antenna and speaker holes already cut. A 2015 Street Glide owner: "it has holes cut for light bar (I could live with this), an antennae (big square hole at the base in the rear of the pack) and two large holes for what I assume are speakers facing forward. Vents are provided for the two speaker holes but rain will pour in during a wet ride." Another buyer, at one star: "So many holes. I would never recommend this product for anybody."

If you are fitting a light bar, an antenna and speakers, those cuts save you a lot of work. If you are not, you have bought a colander.

Two more things. The lid tether broke for one owner within seconds of first opening. And the supplied inner pan on one unit was flat rather than contoured, so the liner no longer fitted.

What owners say: “This is a quality after market product. the fit of the pre drilled holes was perfect. the paint is high quality. no one has noticed that is not original. - Craig B.”

Fits: 1997-2013 Harley Touring with fixed or detachable mounts. On some 2009-up models the base bolt pattern may not match the rack. MOUNTING HARDWARE NOT INCLUDED - the listing says so in capitals.

Included for one reason: it is the only King pack in this guide aimed at pre-2014 Touring bikes. The 2014 Rushmore redesign changed the mounting pattern, and if you ride a 2009 Street Glide the newer packs will not simply bolt on. This one will.

Space is not in question: "the space is massive. Could easily have 2 full face with lots of room to spare." It comes with a full wrap-around vinyl backrest, a chrome top rail and a free carpet liner, and it replaces the factory chrome top rail part 53665-87.

It is also the lowest rated product in this entire guide at 3.2 stars, and the reasons are consistent enough to take seriously.

The latches fail early and often. "Locking mechanism on the tour pack broke within the first 50 miles. The two clips holding the lid shut are cheap plastic and pop open." "1st ride rear latch fell apart front latch is loose and rattles." A hinge pin fell out on one bike.

The shell is thin: "Plastic thin and flimsy, none of the holes lined up and had to drill."

And there is a design fault worth knowing before you buy: "The key can not be removed unless the lock is locked, meaning you can't leave it unlocked and only held by the latches for easy access while riding."

Finally, twenty unused holes in the floor and two in the lid, with no plugs supplied. Plan on body filler and paint, or a different pack if you have the budget.

Buy it if you own a pre-2014 bike and you accept that the latch is going in the bin. Otherwise look at the 2014-up options above.

What owners say: “the space is massive. Could easily have 2 full face with lots of room to spare. - Dave Jensen”

Fits: 2014-2025 Harley Touring FLHR, FLHRC, FLHRSE, FLHX, FLHXS, FLHXSE, FLTRX and FLTRXS. Re-drilling required. Inner base plate not included.

The chopped pack with the best rain evidence in the whole research set, and that is not a small thing in a category where leaking is the standard complaint. An owner: "1000 miles with the chopped pack. Lots of rain. Zero leaks. Very solid unit. Color looks great. Hardware was correct. Support base is very nice."

10.7 inches deep against the King's 13.7, same footprint, distinctly lower silhouette. The detachable two-up mounting rack is in the box, which is more than most packs at this price manage.

Another owner who went in expecting the known problems and did not find them: "I read reviews about the loose latch and the holes not lining up for the bracket. I did not experience those issues, mine was perfect. It's also built better and thicker than I thought."

On drilling, the split is the usual one and an owner explains it well: "you have to drill the holes out for the mounting bracket but they are pre drilled so just have to punch them through. But the seat you have to drill the holes yourself and line them up."

Two cautions. The paint is soft enough to mark with a fingernail - one owner had to buff out a light scratch made while removing a speck of dirt. And the inner base plate is not included, which every owner in these reviews mentions: "Make sure u buy separate plate for bottom."

Black only, and the owners are relaxed about it: "Yes I'd prefer full color match.... But black goes with my bike enough to not look stupid."

What owners say: “1000 miles with the chopped pack. Lots of rain. Zero leaks. Very solid unit. Color looks great. Hardware was correct. - lakearea”

Fits: 2014-2025 Harley Touring - Road King, Road Glide, Street Glide, Electra Glide, Ultra Classic. NOT CVO: the bracket is 10 in wide and a CVO needs 12 in. Re-drilling required.

The chrome-rack version of the chopped pack, and the cheapest chopped shell here at around $210 with the two-up mounting rack included.

The verdict most people are looking for, from a five-star owner: "The fit is perfect, it comes with a liner, and the black finish matches the original vivid black perfectly. It also comes with three keys. While it doesn't have predrilled holes, the outlined spots for drilling are accurate and easy."

The same owner then writes the sentence that decides this whole category for a lot of readers: "They may offer other limited colors, but if you have a vivid black Harley, there's no need to spend extra at Hogworks, Advanblack, or Harley."

If your bike is not Vivid Black, this shell is also the best documented repaint candidate here. An owner who did it: "The shell material took primer, base, and clear coat effortlessly. It sanded down evenly with minimal prep work required, making the custom paint job turn out incredibly clean."

The hard exclusion is CVO. A 2017 CVO Street Glide owner: "Mounting bracket does not fit a CVO 2017 street glide. Bracket is only 10 inches wide. CVO needs 12 inches." He also got no reply from the seller, which is the recurring Amazon-versus-direct trade in this category.

As with every chopped pack here, the inner base plate is a separate $25 purchase and you should not skip it.

What owners say: “They may offer other limited colors, but if you have a vivid black Harley, there's no need to spend extra at Hogworks, Advanblack, or Harley. - Yohan German”

Fits: Harley Touring 2014-2025 Road King, Road Glide, Street Glide, Electra Glide Standard and select CVO. No bolts supplied for trunk to plate, no inner reinforcement plate.

The best rated low-profile pack here, and the highest review count of any razor-style trunk in this guide. Liner and two-up mounting rack in the box at around $200.

What a razor pack is actually for, from an owner who is not overselling it: "Love the look... holds 2 half helmets, rain gear, some beer koozies, gloves and a bottle opener with some room to spare."

The height options matter. It is sold as Low Profile, Standard and Tall under the same listing, so you can tune how much of a shelf you want. A 2025 Street Glide owner on clearance: "It has just enough height for clearance to allow the saddlebag lids to open on my 2025 Street glide without interference."

The install is straightforward if you buy the plate. An owner: "No bolts to mount, but I ordered a plate as others have suggested. The plate came with the mounting hardware so I had everything needed to drill and install in about 30 minutes." Another: "The spots where the bolts go for the base and backrest is spot on. Just drill them out 1st. I would purchase the support plate. Made a big difference."

The failure to watch for is the same one as everywhere else, and here it is well documented. One owner at one star: "Eventually the lid started to rattle. Now the lid does not stay shut. If I hit a moderate bump, the lid will pop open, even with a passenger." Another had a defective latch pop open early in a ride, though the seller sent a replacement.

Same owner also notes the material honestly: "I have compared it to those that have OEM and the material in this is much thinner and more flexible."

And there is no support plate behind the backrest, which is another argument for the $25 steel plate.

What owners say: “Love the look... holds 2 half helmets, rain gear, some beer koozies, gloves and a bottle opener with some room to spare. - JR Westberg”

Fits: 2014-2024 CVO Road Glide, Tri Glide, Electra Glide, Street Glide, Ultra Limited, Road King. Owners also fit it to Lowrider ST and Softail. Mounting brackets NOT included.

The cheapest razor pack here at $165, and the one that goes on the most different bikes. Slim enough that Lowrider ST and Softail owners fit it as well as Touring riders.

A 2010 Street Glide owner: "Fit my 2010 street glide and looks like it was meant to be there. I would highly recommend buying the plate that mounts on the inside as well as it makes the whole assembly rock solid." A 2019 Street Glide owner: "It fits my '19 Street Glide like a glove. Very sturdy construction, quality hinges and rivets holding them in place."

Capacity, in the units this category actually uses: "Another plus is it will fit a whole 12 pack with plenty of room to spare."

Four mounting holes are pre-drilled in the base, which is more than most packs here manage, though the top bracket holes still need drilling and the backrest holes are in the wrong place on some units.

The latch is the weak point and it is worse here than on the pricier razor above. "The latches are completely cheap as well and do not hold the top and bottom together well either. After locking it for the first time it would not unlock correctly. The key was so cheap that it actually cracked." Another owner had the quick-disconnect spring mechanism snap while removing the pack.

Worth noting on the other side: one owner whose latch broke after a year emailed the company and had a replacement sent free. That is better service than several sellers in this category manage.

Buy it as the cheap second shell to swap onto the quick-detach mount for short runs, and budget the replacement latch from the start.

What owners say: “Fit my 2010 street glide and looks like it was meant to be there. I would highly recommend buying the plate that mounts on the inside as well as it makes the whole assembly rock solid. - P V”

Universal. Bolts to any flat 8 x 8 in luggage rack pad - Harley, Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawasaki cruisers. You still need a rack or mount on the bike.

Over a thousand reviews, which is more than any actual tour pack in this guide, and it costs $88. That is the whole proposition.

It is not a Harley pack. It bolts to a flat luggage rack rather than to Harley docking points, which makes it the answer for a Softail, a Lowrider ST or anything without factory tour pack mounting. And at this price it is the shell people buy specifically to repaint.

An owner who did exactly that: "I didn't keep the original black color, I sent it down and repainted it as close as possible to my own bikes color. Six cans of spray paint and two cans of clearcoat." That is the real cost of a colour match if you do it yourself.

Another owner is clear-eyed about what you get: "Holes are easy to drill, and can be located from opening the unit for both bottom mount and rack on top. Smaller than a stock harley tour pak, but MANY hundreds of dollars less. Nice gloss black finish."

Two problems come up repeatedly. The hardware is the weak link: "the hardware provided, including the locking latch is absolute garbage" and, from the same owner, "The latch is the third one I've purchased... Lasts a few months then starts rusting away until finally the piece that latches down breaks off entirely." And the top rack corrodes: "The luggage rack pictured is rusting right out of the box."

The shell also flexes and does not seal. One owner solved it himself: "I attached some rubber seal around the lid so the water doesn't get it."

Treat it as a $88 plastic box that needs $60 of latch and some rubber seal. At that total it still undercuts everything else here.

What owners say: “Smaller than a stock harley tour pak, but MANY hundreds of dollars less. Nice gloss black finish, chrome rack on top. - Jerry H”

Universal - Harley, Honda, Yamaha, Indian, Suzuki, Kawasaki cruisers. You must already have a luggage rack on the bike. No Harley plug, you splice into the loom.

The only sub-$100 box in this guide with a tail light built in, which on paper solves the whole lighting problem covered earlier in this guide. In practice it half solves it.

The light works as a running light and a brake light. What it does not have is a Harley connector or a wiring diagram. An owner: "Wiring is incomplete and unclear I'm yet to find a way to tamper stock wiring to use the stop & blinker connectors." You are splicing into the loom, and you are working it out yourself.

The rest is the familiar universal box story with one advantage: the mounting hardware set is actually included, unlike most of the Harley-specific packs costing three times as much. The listing states it holds one full-face helmet.

The honest owner assessment: "There are no installation instructions included so you will have to wing it. The pre-drilled holes at the bottom of the case did not line up properly with my rack so I had to drill holes to mount it." Another put it more memorably: "if you're not half engineer and half redneck you better get a professional."

Two specific traps. It will not open if you leave a sissy bar on the rack: "The case will not fit or open if there is a sissy bar on your rack. Removal of mine was a royal PIA." And the listed dimensions are transposed - an owner measured it and found the 22 inches is the width, not the length.

The backrest angle is also wrong for some riders, with far more padding at the top than the bottom.

What owners say: “There are no installation instructions included so you will have to wing it. The pre-drilled holes at the bottom of the case did not line up properly with my rack so I had to drill holes to mount it. - Robert L. Ray Jr.”

Universal - bolts to any 8 x 8 in flat luggage rack pad. Harley, Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawasaki, Shadow, Vulcan. Assembly instructions only, no bike-specific fitting instructions.

The same 21 by 14.5 by 10 inch moulding as the two boxes above, under a third brand, and the review that best explains why anyone buys one comes from a Lowrider ST owner: "It's not a high end tour pack, but it fits the size of my Lowrider ST. I painted mine and mounted it to a HOGWORKZ tour pack mount. Still.....for $80 vs $800, hard to argue."

That is the argument in one line. An $80 shell on an $800-class mount, painted to match, on a bike that has no factory tour pack option at all.

The practical notes are consistent with its siblings. "For the price you can't beat it. Storage capacity is awesome, I can fit so much in it and the installation was easy if you have the ability to use a drill." Not lined, so owners make their own: "His only complaint is that he wished it was padded inside but it was easy to make a liner for."

And the same latch reservation: "I love the backrest and extra trunk space. Would give it 5 stars but the latch does feel cheap."

Some buyers cannot make it fit at all, which is the risk with a universal part: "Never could get it mounted on my bike it was cheap made and a waste of money!" You need an existing 8 by 8 inch flat rack pad, so a Touring owner still has to buy a rack or mount on top of this.

Buy it as a paint blank for a non-Touring bike. Do not buy it expecting a tour pack.

What owners say: “It's not a high end tour pack, but it fits the size of my Lowrider ST. I painted mine and mounted it to a HOGWORKZ tour pack mount. Still.....for $80 vs $800, hard to argue. - DH”

Fits: 2014-up Harley Touring with Rushmore Razor, Chopped or King Tour-Pak, and the aftermarket packs that copy those dimensions.

The $25 part that no budget tour pack includes and that every owner in this category tells the next one to buy. If you read only one product entry in this guide, read this one.

It is a laser-cut steel plate that sits in the trunk floor and spreads the load of the mounting bolts. Without it, the thin ABS floor flexes with every bump and eventually tears around the fasteners, taking the backrest and the mount with it.

The reviews are unusually consistent. "Fits perfect with the TCMT Chopped Tour Pack. Mine did not come with a base plate, this one fixed that issue!" "This fits the factory holes perfect! Nice quality, no sharp edges and does exactly what I needed. Happy with the purchase and I highly recommend it if you plan to carry heavy things." "The dimensions are exact and everything lined up perfectly for my 2017 FLHSX Street Glide Special." "Perfect! It does exactly what it was intended. Keeps everything stiff with no wobble."

It lines up with the moulded holes on most packs, so it usually adds no extra drilling.

Two small notes. The listing promises only "some hardware", not a full bolt kit. And metal against plastic can rattle - one owner sprayed flex seal on it to quieten things down, which is a five-minute job worth doing while it is in your hand.

The highest rated product in this entire guide at 4.7, and it costs less than a tank of fuel.

What owners say: “Fits perfect with the TCMT Chopped Tour Pack. Mine did not come with a base plate, this one fixed that issue! Put me with $250 total for the tour pack! - DJJamesP”

Fits: Road King FLHR, FLHRC, CVO FLHRSE, Electra Glide Standard FLHT, Street Glide FLHX, FLHXS, CVO FLHXSE, Road Glide FLTRX and more.

The rack and the four-point docking hardware in the same box, which is exactly what every trunk listing in this guide is missing. If you are starting from a bike with no docking points at all, this is the part that solves it in one purchase.

A 2022 Road Glide Limited owner: "This part mounted on my 2022 Road Glide Limited perfectly. The metal gauge seemed similar to the OEM equipment. The fit and finish was great. Installation was easy. The mount locked on tight, no movement at all." Another confirms what is actually in the box: "The kit comes with all the hardware, bolts/nuts/washers, strut mounts and instructions. Well made, quick and easy to install. Perfect fit."

It also works with the newest bikes and the factory Grand pack. A 2026 Limited owner: "Took a chance and bought this for a new 26' Limited. Easy install, quality materials, and lines up just fine on the new grand-tour pak. Held up wonderfully on a 700 mile trip."

One owner puts the saving at roughly $400 against the OEM equivalent.

Once the docking points are on the bike they also accept other Harley detachable accessories, which is worth knowing if a sissy bar or a luggage rack is anywhere in your future.

The reservations are minor: the quick release can be stiff on some units, one arrived scratched, and one owner had to persuade the fitment. Only 56 ratings so far.

What owners say: “This part mounted on my 2022 Road Glide Limited perfectly. The metal gauge seemed similar to the OEM equipment. The fit and finish was great. - Jeff H.”

Fits: Harley 2014-later FLHR, FLHRC, FLHRSE, FLHT, FLHX, FLHXS, FLHXSE, FLTRX, FLTRXS. Requires a separate docking hardware kit. Street Glide and Road Glide need a hidden or relocated antenna. Not compatible with the Boom Audio Stage II speaker kit.

The most reviewed tour pack mount on Amazon by a wide margin, 628 ratings, and the mounting feet are thickened by 6 mm over the standard part.

Owners of current bikes report it going straight on: "Worked well on 2025 street glide ultra. snug fit and no rattles." "Great product snapped on great for my 2025 Harley Davidson road glide fit perfect." "Excellent quality heavy duty, mounted perfect."

Read the three exclusions in the listing before you order, because they are all real. It needs a separate four-point docking hardware kit - this is the rack only. Street Glide and Road Glide owners need a hidden antenna (P/N 76000513) or the relocation kit (P/N 76000582), because the rack goes where the antenna lives. And it will not work with the Boom Audio Stage II tour pack speaker kit.

This is also the listing that gives us the real weight limit for the whole category: the bullet claims 55 pounds, the specification table says 50. Either way the mount, not the trunk, is what sets the ceiling.

The one recurring problem is third-party docking hardware. An owner: "This did not fit on my (non Harley, Amazon purchased) docking hardware without modification. The hooks that wrap onto the front portion of the docking hardware were too narrow." His fix involved a MAP torch and heating the plastic bushings. If you are buying the docks separately, buy them from the same seller or expect fitting work.

What owners say: “Worked well on 2025 street glide ultra. snug fit and no rattles - S. Key”

Fits: Harley Electra Glide, Road Glide, Road King, Street Glide and Trikes 2014-2025 with rigid-mounted or detachable King, Ultra or Chopped packs. Separate version for 2009-2013.

If your passenger complains that the tour pack is in their back, this is the fix and it costs $47. Two billet aluminium plates that shift the whole pack one to three inches rearward without changing the pack, the rack or anything else.

A 2016 Ultra Limited owner: "Perfect fit on my 2016 ultra limited 15 min install and i was done!" Another: "Solid, high quality, adjustable. excellent pricing."

Fifteen minutes is the consistent figure. Bolt-on, adjustable, anodised gloss black so it disappears.

Two irritations to plan for. The included bolts do not always work: "Hardware included will not work. Had to run to the hardware store to get the correct bolts." And the brackets are not marked left and right, which slows the job: "Worked great wish they were marked left and right but a good fit."

The one bad review is a fitment mismatch on an older bike - a 2008 Electra Glide Ultra Classic owner found the hole patterns did not line up despite the description. Check which version you are ordering: there is a 2009-2013 variant on the same listing and 2008 is outside both.

Only 30 ratings, but nothing in them suggests a design problem.

What owners say: “Perfect fit on my 2016 ultra limited 15 min install and i was done! - Kindle Customer”

Fits: Harley Touring FLT, FLHT, FLHTCU, FLHRC, Road King, Road Glide, Street Glide, Electra Glide, Ultra Classic 2014-2025. Also fits Advanblack, HogWorkz and OEM packs.

The fix for the most common failure in this entire category, and the product that best proves the point that the accessory layer fits every brand.

The two most useful reviews are not from budget trunk owners. An Advanblack owner: "This replaced a loose latch that kept coming open on my Advanblack tour pack. This latch bolted right up and latches perfectly as it should. No loose handle or coming open on rides anymore!" A HogWorkz owner: "This fit perfectly and is an exact match to the Hogworx it replaced. So far so good after 1500 miles so far and it's not cheap metal."

If a $990 HogWorkz pack needs a $60 Amazon latch, that tells you the latch is a consumable rather than a symptom of buying cheap.

It is a complete kit rather than just the handle: latch, two hinges, lock, two keys and screws. And it accepts a Harley matching lock barrel, so one key can run the ignition and the pack, which is the small detail that makes a tour pack pleasant to live with.

An owner who had the standard problem: "Fit perfect. Nice and tight. Decent quality. Has held up so far on 2 rides where the stock one didnt."

Two caveats. Assembly faults do happen - one owner received a unit whose hinge mechanism would not open fully. And a new latch does not save a shell that has already cracked from riding with a loose one, which is the argument for replacing it early.

One kit is one latch. A twin-latch lid needs two.

What owners say: “This replaced a loose latch that kept coming open on my Advanblack tour pack. This latch bolted right up and latches perfectly as it should. No loose handle or coming open on rides anymore! - JEHK”

Fits: 2014-later Harley with a King trunk, EXCEPT models with a CB antenna. AM/FM bikes need Harley hidden antenna P/N 76000862. Light plug is 5-pin; some bike-side pigtails are 6-pin.

The tour pack light, at roughly $250 to $300 less than the factory replacement according to one owner. Running, brake and turn functions in a wrap-around bar across the back of a King pack.

Whether it is easy depends entirely on your bike, and one review captures the split perfectly: "Easy install, if installing to a new trunk, you will have to use the supplied wires, if upgrading existing wires, pull out the wires and a plug in can be used making this a plug and play."

The trap is the connector count. An owner who bought the matching pigtail as well: "Pigtail is 6 pin which works with bike. Light is a 5 pin. So had to cut and solder. Please be aware these are a 5 pin plug on light. Causes a bit of a headache. Certainly not plug and play."

There are no instructions in the box at all. The only documentation that exists is what an owner published in a review: "This unit came with the 5 wire pigtail but no install instructions. Pin Out is as follows: Blue / white = ground, Green = Tail (running) light, Yellow / red = Left Turn Signal..."

And it does not talk to the bike's electronics: "Does not sync to Harley BCM, soldered in load equalizers to eliminate hyper flash indicators and even still brake light does not flash hazards unless the bike is running." Budget load equalisers.

Fitting it to a bare aftermarket pack also means cutting the square harness hole yourself, which several owners note is the hardest part of the job.

Read the fitment line twice: no CB antenna bikes, and AM/FM bikes need the hidden antenna part.

What owners say: “Bought a pigtail as well. Pigtail is 6 pin which works with bike. Light is a 5 pin. So had to cut and solder. Certainly not plug and play. - Doug”

Fits: 2014-2023 FLHT, FLHX, FLHXS, FLTRX and FLTRXS with a King trunk AND a Boom Box audio system. Does NOT fit the Solo Trunk Mounting Rack P/N 53000225. Not for pre-2014 bikes.

Pods, grilles, rings and a pair of drivers for about $110, against $229 and up for the colour-matched alternatives. This is the cheap way to add rear speakers to a tour pack that did not come with them.

An owner who did the job: "Easy to install.. pull the speaker, mark the holes, drill and attach with the included stainless steel screws. Mounts up sturdy and solid right to the tour pack." Another is pleasantly surprised: "I'm very surprised at how good these sound. They look great and fit is spot on. Definitely best bang for the buck."

The realistic view, from an owner who bought them as a base: "For adding these to a tour pack that didn't have any speakers it's the cheaper way to go and always able to add better speakers later."

Three things to settle before you order. There is no harness and no mounting hardware in the box - the listing says so - and you wire the speakers back to the Boom Box amplifier yourself. The housings are shallow, so swapping in better drivers later usually needs spacer rings. And the supplied fasteners are poor: "Crap that came with it was useless, fell apart and 20 miles."

The bigger commitment is physical. You are cutting two large holes in the sides of a tour pack you just bought, and there is no undoing that. Decide before you fit anything else, and remember from earlier in this guide that speaker cutouts are the main documented leak path on these packs.

Check the year: a buyer who missed it got caught. "I didn't see that it was for '14 and up. I had to send mine back."

What owners say: “Easy to install.. pull the speaker, mark the holes, drill and attach with the included stainless steel screws. Mounts up sturdy and solid right to the tour pack. - Haley Hutcheson”

Fits: Harley Touring 2014-2025 Road King, Road Glide, Street Glide, Electra Glide Standard and select CVO. IMPORTANT: bikes never fitted with a Tour-Pak have no wiring at the tailbox and need a separate quick-disconnect harness as well.

The part that makes an aftermarket trunk wire up like a factory Tour-Pak, and the part that tells you the truth about the wiring job before you start.

Seventeen interfaces covering the pack top light, tail light, interior light, cigarette lighter socket and the CB and AM/FM antenna feeds. At $34 it is the cheapest route into tour pack lighting.

The warning is printed on the listing and it is the single most important line in the whole lighting section of this guide: "For Models not originally equipped with a Tour Luggage Pack, a separate purchase of the Tour Luggage Pack Quick Disconnect Wiring Harness is necessary, as the tailbox location lacks pre-installed wiring."

An owner states it more plainly: "Harness is only for the tour pack. You will have to buy another harness to connect to the bike. Connectors are good and wiring is good."

When it does work it works well: "very nice wiring harness and perfect plug and play for lighting and cb and lighting."

The problems are documentation and grounding. There is no installation sheet: "without an installation sheet, there are some clips that could go in 4 different places, and it's your guess as to how to route it to the exit hole in the front of the tourpak." One owner had to run a separate wire for a proper ground. And there is a lot of excess wire to bundle and hide inside the pack.

Buy it if your bike had a factory Tour-Pak. If it did not, buy it and a quick-disconnect harness, and set aside an afternoon.

Fits: 2014-later King Tour-Pak dimensions - Harley OEM, and confirmed by owners on Advanblack and HogWorkz King packs. NOT cut for Chopped or Razor packs.

Lid and base liners for a King pack, under $50 against $149 to $185 for the premium versions. They fit every brand of King pack because all of them copy the same Harley dimensions.

An Advanblack owner: "This liner fit my Advanblack king tour pack just right. Big savings over other options that appear identical. Just enough cushion for items in the tour pack without sacrificing space." A HogWorkz owner: "I have a Hogworkz king tour pack, the dimensions are the same as a HD king tour pack."

They do three jobs: stop gear sliding, kill a lot of the drumming noise from a big empty ABS box, and protect whatever you put in there. One owner: "Easy to install. Well made. Perfect fit. Reduced the noise in my tour pack."

Two things to plan for. The supplied velcro is not enough: "the roll of Velcro is only enough to go around either the bottom or the lid liner all the way around, not both." Buy a roll separately at the same time.

And they are not cut around the lid tether. The owner who hit that had a bad time: "not cut out around the lid tether (recoil) and it never lays out flat, put it out in the sun for six hours before trying to install it and then purchased more velcro but after all that still took it back out and put it in the trash."

Fit is described as close rather than exact by several owners, particularly on the lid. At a quarter of the price of the alternatives that is a trade most people accept.

Fits: Harley Touring Road Glide, Street Glide, Electra Glide, Road King 1997-up, and Sportster, Softail and Dyna detachable parts. No modification to the bike required.

If you bought a detachable tour pack, you now own a large painted object with nowhere to live. This is the answer, and it costs less than fixing the scratches.

An owner says it better than any listing: "The most dangerous spot for your tour pack is laying around in your garage it will indefinitely get scratched and damaged. Easy install seems like a good quality product."

It takes the tour pack, a sissy bar, a luggage rack and a backrest, all off the floor. Owners hang a King pack, a touring seat, a cover and a helmet on one unit. Rated at 165 pounds, against the roughly 40 pounds a King pack weighs empty, so there is plenty of margin: "It seems like it should hold at least twice the empty weight of the tour pack (40 lb)."

The pack sits in a way that looks improbable and works: "The king tour pack sits flat. It doesn't look like it should clip on where it does, but it works to keep the pack out of the way and safe when not in use on the bike."

The supplied fasteners are the weak point and they come up in almost every critical review. "The nuts and bolts that attach the bars are pretty cheap and crappy." "the head of two broke when installing them on the wall." "there are four holes per side to attach the bracket to the wall, but there were only six lag screws with the rack."

And the bracket spacing is not exactly 16 inches, so it will not always land on two studs. One owner mounted his into concrete block with Tapcons instead.

Buy it, and buy proper lag bolts at the same time.
