Razor Tourpack Question

[Thom]

I am looking at getting a Razor style tour pack for the Nomad. I have gone through a bunch of threads and looked at photos on the site. I see some really nice racks to mount the pack to but cannot locate where you guys are getting these. I am assuming the stock chrome rack is not large enough to hold a pack securely. Can anyone point me in the direction to where I would get one? Thanks in advance.

Wompus rack? That's probably what most of them are mounted on.

Mine's on a Wompus rack

I've been searching threads for information on tour packs. I've about had it with the stock rack and sissy bar on my Nomad because of the poor design.

I have what I believe to be a Wompus rack that I bought from Canuckrider some time back and have been searching for a good tour pack. Foolishly I included a Harley tour pack that I had in the attic in the sale of my EG several years ago.

This one doesn't look too bad.

One can beef up the bottom with a piece of aluminum plate as I did on my old EG.

I have the same version of that in the chopped pack. It is pretty decent. I use mine to hold lite stuff. Sweatshirt, gloves, the wife's purse etc. It does the job for what I need. I had it painted up to match the vinyl wrap and it looks pretty nice. I did go out and buy a rubber gasket from HD to add to the rubber gasket they supply. Makes a tighter seal and eliminated the bit of rattle it had.

With that in mind, I did modify the stock luggage rack and mounted it to that. It is considerably strong and holds the weight of my wife and gear with no issues. A new mount will be fabricated over the winter mounts more suitable to my liking

I thought of just modifying the rack Thom but since I have the Wompus I'll just use that. It bolts right up to the fender struts. Thanks for the feedback on the trunk. There are some ones for about $70 but they can't be much good.

I'm using a rack I picked up from Scootworks. This rack is well built and plenty strong enough to handle the load... Not that I would recommend ordering from them, unless you have about a year to wait and don't mind bugging them every month to keep them spurred on to get your order processed..

Having looked at the Wompus Web site I see that their racks are styled and built similarly. If I was in the market again for a tour pack rack, that's where I would head. Just say'n...

David, looking at the pic of your bike that looks like a very nice tour pac. Also, is that an aftermarket wind screen? It looks to be pretty good size.

Canuckrider sent along some other do-dads with the rack. There is a chrome extension rack that I believe is made for a case of beer.

Yup case of beer for sure. Added to 15 can cases both sides + 2 in the King Tour Pak = just enough for a couple of rounds at the Salmon Arm Rally. You bet!

Navigator, that rack that I sold you was one that I had designed and had custom made because at that time I don't believe that Wompus was making a solo rack.

I guess if I had to do it over again today, I would likely go with a Wompus rack.

[hammer]

I agree Al. I have built quite a few trunk racks similar to Wompus but now have one made by him. I highly recommend the Wompus product too

That's pretty cool. It looked like a Wompus so I just assumed it was. It's a one of a kind Canuckrider Custom Special.

I would think so, since Wompus does build the scootworks racks.

Mike, The tour pack is one of the ABS plastic boxes available on ebay for around $75. I painted it to match. Came out pretty good if I do say so myself. The windshield is from Rifle. I'm 6' 5". I had them add 4" to the tallest one they make. It's plenty tall to kick the wind up over my head, but I still look over it. It's nice to duck down behind in the rain.
