Top box

bygum · 01-15-2012, 01:15 PM

I am going to tour Spain in the summer,so I am getting things ready for this.
Can anyone suggest a good size hard lockable top box I have a cobra rack fitted,all the boxes I have seen hinge from the back this will hit the sissy bar when opening?.

Which is why you don't mount a trunk on a luggage rack. You need a purpose-built mount, like a Wompus rack.

And a HD TourPak. There are a few out there that are decent quality but honestly, nobody makes one like HD. Not the cheapest but you get what you pay for.

They are the best for loading stuff in, if you go that route get one from an Ultra Classic, they have the tailights and sidelights built into them.

Thanks for the advice I have ordered a tour pack.
Unless you buy the Kawasaki one they dont sell them here so I have ordered one from the U S,going to get stung for tax

Thanks again

Did you get a Harley TourPak? Or an aftermarket trunk?

Hi no its not a harley tour pack,I dont know the make its suppose to be made for a nomad?(keeping my fingers crossed)looks good in the pictures

Hi Bygum,
Send us a link to the pictures of the trunk. Did you get my PM's ?

bygum · 01-18-2012, 02:56 PM

Thanks for the pm I have just looked at it and the link.
Very usefull I think I can make something very similar when I get the pack.
sorry I cannot send a picture of the pack from the link I am not that good on the computor yet but I can from my camera so when I fit it I will send a photo.
I think the manufacturer is a firm called ride.
Thanks for all the advice God knows how long it would have taken me to sort this problem out.
Regards bygum
