Premeux Tour Pack Install

[Netnorske]

Well I finally got it... . After several discussions with Serge at Premeux....I ordered my Tour Pack awhile back. It only took about two weeks from the time I ordered it to the time I received it.

Like Serge said....it was about a 20 minute install. Remove the saddlebags, then remove the four bolts holding the grab rails/backrest and pull that assembly off. Then re-install the bolts with the chrome mounting bracket in place. During this process, I did have to remove some little reflectors from the sides of the license plate holder and cut one off the top for the mounting bracket to fit over it cleanly.

The Tour Pack came with the luggage rack installed and four studs protruding from the bottom including nuts, so you just remove the nuts, place it on the mounting rack and re-tighten the nuts....VOILA.... !

The pinstriping scheme is right on the money...however...while the neutron silver is spot on, the blue on the Tour Pack is just a tad bit darker than the blue on the bike, but IMO not enough to really bitch about. It's possible that my original paint may have faded just a tad as it saw some serious sunlight this past summer, but that's just a guess....

Here are a series of photos...but I was losing my daylight when I took them so they are not as in focus as they could be. If anyone wishes...PM me and I will take some better ones when I have more daylight.

With the exchange rate in our favor again by about 20%....the total cost was about $1500.00 US...and that included about $150.00 for shipping! It is just like a HD Tour Pack and I'm not sure if they buy them unpainted from HD, or just use a mold similar. Either way it is very nice.

The Tour Pack itself came in one box....and the chrome mounting bracket came in another. I will be adding an LED lightbar to the rear of the Tour Pack in the near future...and also plan to remove the Premeux Logo and replace it with the Vulcan "V" instead.

All said....I am really pleased with the service and quality. Serge seems like a stand-up guy. Only thing left to do now is load it up for a long trip! Can anyone say....CUSTER.... !!!

BTW....The Missus gives it a two thumbs up as well....and we all know that if she ain't happy....nobody is happy.... ;)

Looks very nice I'll assume they painted it for you.

Kris, that does look sharp, and you will come to love the convenience of it. I hardly even use my saddlebags anymore. If it is like mine, it takes about 3-4 months for the paint to fully cure, and match the bike's color exactly.
But man, that does look good. The wife will really appreciate it.

That does look really nice! I like the mounting bracket a lot. Now you need to work on getting a fairing and lowers from Serge. ;)

Looks good....I have the same colours.....got me thinking about it.

Kris, That is one beautiful tourpak. The lines go perfectly with your bike. Buying from Scootworks, adding a wompus rack, luggage rack, wraparound backrest, and having it painted probably wouldn't be far from your price.

Nice Tour pack you got there! Yes, the lowers that premeux use to make would look really good with this

I thought long and hard before making a decision...and seriously thought about the exact route you mentioned above. For just a few more dollars...you get it already painted/pinstriped out of the box to match your bike, a nice chrome mounting bracket...and best of all, 20 minutes later you're high-fiving yourself and rolling down the road.... !

BD,
Just tell Serge what year your bike is and the color combo...they have all the factory colors and pinstriping schemes. Other than coughing up your credit card number, it's as painless as it gets... ;)! I'm really kind of shocked at the added storage space this thing provides.

I also ordered one of those T-Bag Dekker Supreme bags off ebay that fits perfectly into the luggage rack....so the wife will have ungodly amounts of room to store stuff on those long trips... ;)! I might have to teach myself how to balance that bad boy all over again though.... !
