Most Harley Touring riders run into the same decision sooner or later: the stock luggage isn’t enough, or they want a different look, or they’re adding a Tour-Pak to a Street Glide that didn’t come with one. We analyzed HDForums threads, cross-referenced fitment guides from multiple aftermarket manufacturers, and dug into Harley’s own service manuals (2009 and 2011 Touring, in our library) to put together this guide. Eight Tour-Pak options, three style categories, two generations of Touring frames – all sorted out below.
The Tour-Pak is Harley-Davidson’s trademarked name for the rear trunk that mounts on a luggage rack behind the passenger seat on Touring models. The Street Glide and Road Glide can add one; the Electra Glide Ultra and Road King Special come with one from the factory. Fitment is the single biggest variable – the Rushmore redesign in 2014 changed the mounting system entirely, so a 2013 Touring and a 2014 Touring take different hardware. We break that down in detail in the Buying Guide below. For now, here are the eight options worth considering in 2026.
Research compiled May 2026, based on manufacturer fitment specs, HDForums owner threads, and HD Service Manual sections 2.28-2.32 (Touring Models, 2009 and 2011 editions). Per HD Service Manual (2009 Touring, §2.31), Tour-Pak mounting bolts torque to 96-120 in-lbs; luggage rack fasteners to 15-20 ft-lbs.
Key Takeaways
- King Tour-Pak (largest) fits 2014-2025 Touring models with the Rushmore frame – OEM-equivalent size, best storage for two-up touring
- Razor Tour-Pak (mid-size) is the slimmer option – lower profile suits riders who don’t need full King capacity but want clean lines
- Chopped Tour-Pak (smallest) gives a sportier, custom bagger look – less storage but the most aggressive silhouette of the three
- The 2014 Rushmore redesign changed Tour-Pak mounting; pre-2014 and 2014+ Touring models take different hardware – always verify your frame generation before buying
- Advanblack’s legacy-fit King covers 1997-2023 – the only option here that spans both pre- and post-Rushmore frames, though each frame era requires its own docking hardware
- Per HD Service Manual (2009 Touring), adding a Tour-Pak means adding 5-10 psi to rear shock pressure (do not exceed 50 psi)

More Details on Our Top Picks
XMT-MOTO King Tour-Pak with Luggage Rack + Backrest
If you want the classic full-size Touring look – the one Electra Glide Ultras come with from the factory – this is the King Tour-Pak format you’re shopping for. XMT-MOTO’s King unit covers the 2014-2025 Rushmore-frame Touring lineup, which includes the Street Glide, Road Glide, Road King, and Electra Glide variants. What separates this listing from a bare trunk sale: it ships as a package with the luggage rack, backrest pad, and all necessary mounting hardware included.
King-size Tour-Paks sit higher and wider than Razor or Chopped styles – the added height is part of why they’re standard on Ultra-spec models. The Vivid Black finish matches Harley’s factory gloss paint code used on most black Touring models 2014 onward. OEM Harley Tour-Pak mounting bolts on the Rushmore frame torque to 96-120 in-lbs per HD Service Manual (2009 Touring, §2.31) – the same spec applies to aftermarket trunks using the same mount points. Because these bolts sit in a high-vibration luggage rack, a dab of medium-strength blue threadlocker keeps them from backing out; our guide on Loctite 242 vs 243 for Harley bolts explains which grade to apply.
The integrated luggage rack on top adds utility beyond the trunk – useful for strapping a dry bag or securing a net over extra luggage during multi-day trips. Multiple HDForums threads in the “Touring Model” section consistently note that getting rack, backrest, and hardware in one order avoids the compatibility guessing game of sourcing components separately, which is a real issue with mismatched rack heights and backrest mounting angles across brands.
This is the pick for riders converting a base Street Glide or Road Glide to Ultra-style storage, or anyone replacing a damaged OEM King Tour-Pak without going back to the dealer. If you’re on a pre-2014 Touring model (Twin Cam, pre-Rushmore frame), this does not fit – see the Advanblack legacy unit below for that application.
- Style:King (largest)
- Fitment:2014-2025 Touring, CVO
- Includes:Luggage rack, backrest pad, hardware
- Finish:Vivid Black
- Lock type:Integrated latch
- Brake light:OEM-spec connector (check listing)
- Backrest type:Standard pad
- Pre-2014 fit:No (Rushmore frame only)
- Models covered:Street Glide, Road Glide, Road King, Electra Glide, CVO variants
XMT-MOTO Razor Tour-Pak with Backrest + Luggage Rack
The Razor Tour-Pak sits lower and has a more tapered profile than the King – it’s what Harley used on earlier Electra Glide Standard and Electra Glide Classic models before the King became the Ultra-spec standard. Riders who want the clean symmetry of a trunk without the taller King silhouette tend to prefer this format, especially on Street Glides where the lower roofline of the Razor doesn’t compete visually with the fairing height. This XMT-MOTO unit covers the full 2014-2025 post-Rushmore Touring range.
The trunk-mounted rack and backrest pad are included in this listing. The Razor’s narrower width means slightly less cargo volume than a King – practical for a helmet or a day bag, but not the right call if you’re packing gear for two people on a cross-country trip. For solo touring or weekend runs, the Razor is easier to manage and fits the bagger aesthetic more cleanly than the taller King profile.
HDForums members in the “Touring Technical” section consistently note that the Razor is the more common Tour-Pak choice for Street Glide owners who want storage without dramatically changing the bike’s visual balance – the King’s added height can make a naked Street Glide look top-heavy. The Razor avoids that issue while still giving you a lockable trunk with a passenger backrest.
Same fitment note as the King unit: this is a 2014+ Rushmore-frame product. If your Touring bike is a 2013 or older Twin Cam, you need a different option. All other major Touring models in the 2014-2025 range – Road King, Road Glide, Street Glide, Electra Glide, Ultra Classic, and their CVO counterparts – use the same Rushmore Tour-Pak mounting system.
- Style:Razor (lower, tapered)
- Fitment:2014-2025 Touring Models
- Includes:Backrest pad, trunk mounting rack
- Finish:Vivid Black
- Lock type:Integrated latch
- Visual profile:Lower than King – bagger-friendly
- Backrest type:Standard pad
- Pre-2014 fit:No (Rushmore frame only)
- Best for:Street Glide, Road Glide solo touring
TCMT Chopped Tour-Pak with Backrest
The Chopped Tour-Pak is the style choice, not the utility choice. It sits lower than both the King and Razor, has an angled rear profile that leans into the custom bagger aesthetic, and gives up cargo room in exchange for a sportier look. TCMT’s version fits the full 2014-2025 Rushmore Touring lineup – Street Glide, Road Glide, Road King, Electra Glide, and CVO variants – and comes with black latches and a backrest pad included.
The black latch hardware is a detail worth noting. Vivid Black bikes with chrome latches can look mismatched on a Chopped unit where the lower profile draws more visual attention to hardware. TCMT runs black latches throughout, which holds the blacked-out bagger look together better than chrome alternatives at this price point.
Storage capacity is the obvious trade-off. You’re giving up meaningful volume versus a King – plan accordingly. A helmet doesn’t fit in a Chopped Tour-Pak. Essentials for a day ride or a weekend bag with a roll-top compression fit, yes; gear for two on a multi-week trip, no. Riders who go Chopped typically add a larger set of saddlebags to compensate. Our exhaust guide for Harley baggers covers complementary bagger upgrades if you’re building out the full look.
The Chopped style is popular in the custom bagger community precisely because it finishes the rear of the bike rather than dominating it. Multiple HDForums build threads on “bagger project” bikes consistently feature Chopped Tour-Paks as the trunk option when the goal is a clean street fighter look rather than max storage. If storage is the priority, step up to the Razor or King.
- Style:Chopped (lowest, sportiest)
- Fitment:2014-2025 Touring, CVO
- Includes:Backrest pad, black latches
- Finish:Vivid Black
- Lock type:Black latches
- Cargo volume:Least of the three styles
- Visual profile:Custom bagger / street fighter aesthetic
- Pre-2014 fit:No (Rushmore frame only)
- Best for:Style-focused builds, custom bagger builds
Advanblack King Tour-Pak Luggage (Vivid Black)
Advanblack has built a reputation in the aftermarket Harley parts community as one of the better-fit alternatives to OEM – they focus specifically on Touring and Softail parts and are more commonly referenced in HDForums fitment discussions than most other aftermarket brands. This King Tour-Pak covers the 2014-2024 post-Rushmore Touring lineup and ships as a trunk unit – note that rack and backrest are sold separately on this listing, which is intentional for riders who already have a rack or want to spec a specific backrest style.
The paint quality on Advanblack’s Vivid Black is a consistent point of discussion in HDForums finishing threads. The brand applies a gloss that tracks closer to OEM Harley Vivid Black than most cheaper alternatives – relevant if your bike’s existing paint is Vivid Black and you’re worried about a color mismatch at the trunk. That said, any painted aftermarket part will show slight variance in direct sunlight compared to factory OEM panels.
The trunk-only format works well for two scenarios: riders doing a bare-trunk conversion who have a specific backrest and rack in mind, and riders replacing a cracked or damaged OEM King where they’re reusing existing hardware. Advanblack’s fitment covers the same Rushmore-frame mounting points – meaning OEM luggage racks and backrest brackets from 2014-2024 bikes mount directly.
For riders who want the complete package (trunk + rack + backrest) in one order, the XMT-MOTO King above is the more straightforward choice. The Advanblack unit earns its place for anyone prioritizing brand-matched paint quality over one-box convenience.
- Style:King
- Fitment:2014-2024 Touring (Rushmore frame)
- Includes:Trunk unit only
- Rack/backrest:Sold separately
- Finish:Vivid Black (OEM-comparable gloss)
- Lock type:Integrated latch
- Brand focus:HD Touring/Softail specialist
- Pre-2014 fit:No (Rushmore frame only)
- Best for:Riders replacing damaged OEM King with existing hardware
TCT-MOTORPARTS 5.5-Inch Razor Tour-Pak with Backrest
TCT-MOTORPARTS calls out the 5.5-inch height specifically in the product name, which is useful information – it tells you exactly where this trunk sits in the Razor family. A 5.5-inch Razor is on the taller end of the Razor range, which means slightly more cargo space than a lower-profile Razor without going all the way to King dimensions. It covers the full 2014-2025 Rushmore Touring lineup and includes a backrest pad and hardware in the box.
The price position on this unit is notably lower than the Advanblack or XMT-MOTO King options. For riders who want a functional Razor-style trunk without the premium, this is the option to look at. TCT-MOTORPARTS is a known quantity in the Harley aftermarket – they produce fitment-specific parts for Touring models and show up in multiple HDForums threads on Tour-Pak installations without major complaints about panel gaps or hardware fitment.
At the 5.5-inch height, you get more practical storage than a flatter Chopped style while still keeping the lower rear profile that makes the Razor attractive in the first place. A small day bag, rain gear, and tools will fit comfortably. Not a helmet, but that’s true of any Razor format.
This is the straightforward budget pick for anyone who wants a complete Razor kit – trunk, backrest, hardware – at a lower entry point than the premium-branded alternatives. Finish quality is reported as acceptable for the price tier; if paint matching to an OEM Vivid Black tank is critical, go Advanblack. If you want a working trunk and you’re not obsessing over the gloss comparison, TCT-MOTORPARTS gets the job done.
- Style:Razor (5.5-inch height)
- Fitment:2014-2025 Touring Models
- Includes:Backrest pad, mounting hardware
- Finish:Vivid Black
- Lock type:Integrated latch
- Height spec:5.5 inches (taller Razor format)
- Price tier:Budget-friendly
- Pre-2014 fit:No (Rushmore frame only)
- Best for:Budget-conscious Razor buyers, Rushmore-frame Touring 2014-2025
Moto Onfire Universal King Tour-Pak with Backrest Pad
Most Tour-Pak listings target Harley Touring specifically. The Moto Onfire unit takes a broader approach – its fitment list covers 2014+ Harley Touring models, the Harley Low Rider S and ST (2018+), and the Indian Chief. That cross-brand compatibility is unusual and makes this the pick for a mixed garage or a rider who has switched between platforms and prefers consistent trunk hardware across bikes.
The Low Rider S/ST fitment is the standout here. The FXLRS (Low Rider S) is a Softail-based bike, not a Touring frame – getting a Tour-Pak-style trunk to mount on it requires specific mounting hardware that most aftermarket Tour-Pak manufacturers don’t address. Moto Onfire’s fitment guide covers this application, which no other listing in this roundup does. If you’re adding rear trunk storage to a Low Rider S, this is currently one of the cleaner King-format options available.
On traditional Harley Touring applications (Street Glide, Road King, etc.), the Moto Onfire King behaves like any other 2014+ aftermarket King Tour-Pak. The backrest pad is included; the trunk uses the standard Rushmore mounting system. Build quality threads on HDForums that mention this brand tend to focus on the broader fitment compatibility as the differentiator rather than significant quality differences from XMT-MOTO or TCT-MOTORPARTS at the King level.
This is the pick when platform versatility matters more than brand pedigree. Standard Harley Touring rider who wants a King and nothing else unusual in their build should compare the XMT-MOTO and Advanblack options first – they have more dedicated Touring-focus on their fitment testing history.
- Style:King
- Fitment:2014+ Harley Touring, Low Rider S/ST 2018+, Indian Chief
- Includes:Backrest pad, mounting hardware
- Finish:Vivid Black
- Lock type:Integrated latch
- Cross-brand fit:Yes (Harley + Indian)
- Low Rider S/ST fit:Yes (2018+)
- Pre-2014 fit:No (Rushmore frame only for Harley)
- Best for:Mixed garage, Low Rider S/ST owners, Indian Chief riders
TCT-MOTORPARTS Chopped Tour-Pak Full Kit (Rack + Backrest Bracket)
The majority of Chopped Tour-Pak listings ship trunk-only or with a backrest pad. TCT-MOTORPARTS bundles the full installation kit: Chopped trunk, mount rack, backrest bracket, and hardware. For a rider converting a base Street Glide, Road King, or Road Glide that never had a Tour-Pak from the factory, that full-kit approach eliminates a significant sourcing headache – the rack and bracket have to be fitment-matched to the trunk style, and getting that wrong means a second order and reinstall.
The mount rack and backrest bracket included are Chopped-specific – the geometry differs from King and Razor mounting systems, so these aren’t interchangeable. Having the matched rack and bracket from the same manufacturer is an advantage for installation confidence, since the tolerances are designed together rather than mix-matched from multiple brands.
Fitment spans the 2014-2025 Rushmore-frame Touring lineup: Road King, Road Glide, Street Glide, and Electra Glide Ultra-Classic all covered. The Vivid Black finish is consistent with the other TCT-MOTORPARTS unit in this roundup. Per HD Service Manual (2011 Touring, §2.28), frame cover fastener at the rear torques to 15-20 ft-lbs – the same spec applies when installing the mount rack on any aftermarket Tour-Pak system.
For riders who already have a working rack and want just the trunk, this is overpaying slightly for hardware they don’t need. For first-time Tour-Pak installation on a model that didn’t come equipped, the full-kit approach is the correct starting point. Compare to the TCMT Chopped above if you’re primarily price-shopping within the Chopped category – the TCT version adds rack and bracket at a moderate premium.
- Style:Chopped
- Fitment:2014-2025 Touring (Road King, Road Glide, Street Glide, Electra Glide)
- Includes:Mount rack, backrest bracket, hardware
- Finish:Vivid Black
- Lock type:Integrated latch
- Kit completeness:Full installation kit (best for new Tour-Pak installs)
- Rack geometry:Chopped-specific (not interchangeable with King/Razor)
- Pre-2014 fit:No (Rushmore frame only)
- Best for:First-time Tour-Pak installs on non-equipped Touring models
Advanblack King Tour-Pak + Wrap-Around Backrest (1997-2023 Fit)
Every other Tour-Pak in this roundup is a 2014+ Rushmore-frame-only product. This Advanblack King is the exception – its fitment list spans 1997-2023 Touring models, covering both the pre-Rushmore Twin Cam era (2009-2013) and the post-Rushmore Milwaukee-Eight era through 2023. Each frame generation requires its own era-appropriate docking hardware – the trunk itself is compatible across both, but the mounting rack and bracket must match your frame year. That’s the only Tour-Pak option in this guide that addresses the older frame generation directly.
The wrap-around backrest pad is a meaningful ergonomic upgrade over standard flat-pad alternatives. It extends around the sides of the backrest frame, giving a passenger more lateral support on long highway stretches. Riders who do serious two-up touring tend to notice the difference between a wrap-around and a standard pad after two to three hours in the saddle – the wrap-around reduces the tendency to slide sideways under deceleration.
On the pre-2014 fitment: the Twin Cam Touring frame (2009-2013) uses a different Tour-Pak mounting system than the Rushmore redesign. If you’re on a 2013 Road Glide, 2012 Electra Glide, or an older Twin Cam Touring bike, this is the King-format option in this roundup that actually fits your frame. We found no specific complaints in HDForums threads about fitment issues on the Twin Cam application with Advanblack units.
Worth noting: the “1997-2023” range includes a wide span of frame generations. Verify your specific model year against Advanblack’s fitment guide before ordering – earlier years (pre-2009) used the Evolution-era Touring frame with different mount points, and that application may require additional verification. The safe confident range based on forum feedback is 2009-2023 Twin Cam and Milwaukee-Eight Touring models.
- Style:King
- Fitment:1997-2023 Touring (Road King, Road Glide, Street Glide, Electra Glide, CVO)
- Includes:Wrap-around backrest pad
- Finish:Vivid Black
- Lock type:Integrated latch
- Backrest type:Wrap-around (superior lateral support)
- Pre-2014 compatibility:Yes (Twin Cam Touring covered)
- Unique selling point:Only option in this guide covering pre-Rushmore frame
- Best for:2009-2023 Twin Cam Touring owners, wrap-around backrest preference
How to Choose the Right Tour-Pak for Your Harley
The Tour-Pak decision comes down to four variables: your frame generation, the style you want, how much storage you actually need, and whether you’re starting from scratch or replacing existing hardware. Get the frame generation wrong and nothing else matters – you’ll have a trunk that won’t mount. Here’s how to work through the decision.
Step 1: Confirm Your Frame Generation (This Is Non-Negotiable)
The 2014 Harley-Davidson Touring redesign (internally called “Rushmore” for the development program) changed the rear frame architecture and with it the Tour-Pak mounting system. A 2013 Road King and a 2014 Road King use fundamentally different Tour-Pak hardware – the trunks themselves are not cross-compatible without bracket modifications.
If your bike is 2014 or newer: You have the Rushmore frame. Every option in this roundup except the Advanblack Legacy unit is designed for your bike. The standard fitment across all 2014-2025 Touring models (Street Glide, Road Glide, Road King, Electra Glide, CVO) is consistent.
If your bike is 2013 or older (Twin Cam era): You have the pre-Rushmore frame. Only the Advanblack Legacy King in this guide explicitly covers your application. For a 2009-2013 Touring bike, per HD Service Manual (2009 Touring, §2.31), the Tour-Pak mounting bolt torque spec is 96-120 in-lbs – verify your aftermarket mounting kit uses this spec.
Quick check: Model years 2014-2025 = Rushmore. Model years 2009-2013 = Twin Cam pre-Rushmore. If you have a 2018+ Milwaukee-Eight Touring bike, you’re on the Rushmore-derived frame (HD updated the M8 into the existing Touring frame architecture).
King vs Razor vs Chopped: Which Style Fits Your Riding?
Style is the fun decision – but it’s not just about looks. Each Tour-Pak style carries different cargo implications that matter on long trips.
King Tour-Pak is the largest format. Standard on Electra Glide Ultra Limited and Ultra Classic models. Fits a full-face helmet in most cases, plus gear for two-up touring. If you regularly do multi-day trips with a passenger, this is the format that makes storage practical. Best paired with a Road Glide Ultra or Electra Glide application where the taller silhouette already fits the bike’s proportions. See our air ride suspension guide for Harley Touring if you’re planning a loaded touring build – a Tour-Pak adds weight that rear suspension setup should account for.
Razor Tour-Pak is mid-height with a tapered profile. No helmet storage, but a solid day bag or weekend gear set fits fine. The lower roofline suits Street Glide and Road Glide owners who don’t want the King’s added height competing visually with the fairing. Solo touring riders who value aesthetics as much as storage tend to prefer this format.
Chopped Tour-Pak is the style-first choice. Lowest profile of the three, angled rear face, minimum cargo volume. The custom bagger community gravitates to this format for the look it creates. If storage is a secondary concern and you’re building a clean bagger aesthetic, the Chopped is the right call.
Trunk-Only vs Full Kit: What Do You Already Have?
Tour-Pak listings come in three configurations: trunk only, trunk with backrest, and trunk with rack + backrest + hardware. Which you need depends on whether your bike already has Tour-Pak infrastructure installed.
If your Touring model came with a Tour-Pak from the factory (Electra Glide Ultra, Road King Special), the luggage rack and mounting hardware are already on the bike. A trunk-only or trunk + backrest listing is usually sufficient for a replacement – you’re reusing existing hardware. Advanblack’s trunk-only King is the right format here.
If your bike never had a Tour-Pak (base Street Glide, Road King, Road Glide without the Ultra or Special designation), you need the full mounting system – luggage rack, mounting plate, and hardware are not on the bike. A full-kit listing like the TCT-MOTORPARTS Chopped Kit or the XMT-MOTO King bundle is the correct starting point. Installing just a trunk without the rack leaves you nowhere to mount it.
Paint Matching: Vivid Black vs Primer vs Custom Color
Every Tour-Pak in this roundup ships in Vivid Black – Harley’s gloss black paint code that appears on most standard-trim Touring models. If your bike is Vivid Black, aftermarket Vivid Black Tour-Paks will be a close match under normal riding conditions, with potential variation in direct sunlight depending on paint batch. Advanblack is generally considered the closer OEM-match option in terms of gloss level.
If your bike is a color other than Vivid Black (Milwaukee-Eight Silver Fortune, Redline Red, Billet Silver), you have two options: buy a primer-base Tour-Pak and have it painted locally to match, or find a brand that offers a pre-painted match. J&P Cycles carries a broader range of painted Tour-Pak options than most Amazon listings – worth checking if color matching is critical to your build. See our Street Glide upgrade guide for a full look at Touring customization priorities.
Rear Shock Pressure Adjustment: Don’t Skip This
Per HD Service Manual (2009 Touring, p. 3750): “If a Tour-Pak is installed, add 5-10 psi (34-69 kPa) to shock pressure. Do not exceed 50 psi (345 psi) suspension pressure.” This is a factory-spec requirement, not optional. A Tour-Pak adds 15-25 lbs of loaded weight to the rear of the bike, and running stock shock pressure with that added load affects handling and wear on the rear suspension.
If your Touring bike has air-assisted rear shocks (standard on most Touring models), this is a simple adjustment. If you’ve upgraded to aftermarket air ride, consult your shock manufacturer’s load chart. For a full guide on Touring air suspension options, see our air ride for Harley Touring piece.
LED Brake Light Integration
OEM Tour-Pak trunks on 2014+ Rushmore Touring models typically include an integrated rear LED brake/taillight that ties into the bike’s electrical system through the Tour-Pak harness. Per HD Service Manual (2011 Touring, §2.30), the Tour-Pak Lights Harness is a separate connector from the main harness – it handles Tour-Pak tail/stop lamp function (0.59A running, 2.10A braking) and any optional wrap-around side lamps.
Aftermarket Tour-Paks vary on this. Some include a brake light with wiring; others are trunk-only and require a separate LED brake light kit. Check the listing carefully before purchase. Running a trunk without a functioning rear brake light is both a safety issue and a legal one. Our Road Glide upgrade guide covers electrical accessory integration in more detail if you’re doing a multi-part build.

Frequently Asked Questions
The most common Tour-Pak questions we’ve seen across HDForums Touring threads and buyer research – answered directly.
Does a Tour-Pak fit on a Street Glide?
Yes, but the Street Glide does not come with Tour-Pak mounting hardware from the factory. A base Street Glide (FLHX) has no luggage rack, no Tour-Pak mounting plate, and no Tour-Pak light harness wiring. To add a Tour-Pak, you need the full hardware kit – luggage rack, mounting plate, and appropriate backrest and hardware. A full-kit listing like the XMT-MOTO King or TCT-MOTORPARTS Chopped Full Kit covers this. If you want to add a Tour-Pak to a Street Glide, budget for the full system, not just the trunk.
What’s the difference between a King Tour-Pak and a Razor Tour-Pak?
The King Tour-Pak is larger – taller profile, more cargo volume, the format that comes standard on Electra Glide Ultra and Road Glide Ultra models. The Razor is shorter with a tapered rear profile – better aesthetics on Street Glide and base Road Glide applications where the taller King looks disproportionate. The Razor does not fit a full-face helmet; the King does in most cases. If two-up touring with maximum storage is the goal, go King. If the clean bagger look with functional storage is the goal, the Razor is the more common choice.
Will a 2014+ Tour-Pak fit my 2013 or older Harley Touring?
No. The 2014 Rushmore redesign changed the Tour-Pak mounting system. Pre-2014 Twin Cam Touring models (2009-2013 Road King, Road Glide, Street Glide, Electra Glide) use a different rear frame architecture with different mount points. The only option in this roundup that covers the pre-2014 frame is the Advanblack King Legacy unit (1997-2023 fitment). All other options in this guide are 2014-2025 Rushmore-frame only.
How much weight does a Tour-Pak add to the rear of the bike?
An empty aftermarket King Tour-Pak with backrest typically weighs 20-25 lbs. Loaded, depending on contents, figure 30-50 lbs of added rear weight. Per HD Service Manual (2009 Touring), this requires adding 5-10 psi to rear shock pressure and not exceeding 50 psi total. On 2014+ Touring models with air-assisted rear shocks, this is a simple pressure adjustment. Also factor Tour-Pak weight into your total GVWR – most Harley Touring models have a GVWR that includes the bike’s curb weight plus a total load limit (rider, passenger, and cargo combined).
Do aftermarket Tour-Paks include the rear brake light?
It varies by listing. Some aftermarket Tour-Paks include an integrated LED brake light with the necessary wiring; others are trunk-shell only and require a separate brake light kit. Check the specific listing carefully. Per HD Service Manual (2011 Touring, §2.30), the Tour-Pak Lights Harness uses specific connectors – verify aftermarket brake light kits use compatible connectors or plan for a splice installation. Running a Tour-Pak without a functioning rear brake light is both unsafe and in most US states a traffic equipment violation.
Can I add a Tour-Pak to a Road Glide?
Yes. The Road Glide (FLTRX) uses the same Rushmore-frame Touring architecture as the Street Glide, Road King, and Electra Glide variants. It does not come with a Tour-Pak from the factory on base trim. Adding one requires the full hardware kit (luggage rack, mount plate, backrest, hardware). The XMT-MOTO King and Razor kits explicitly list Road Glide fitment in their descriptions for 2014-2025 models.
How do I mount an aftermarket Tour-Pak correctly?
The mounting process follows the procedure in HD Service Manual (2009 Touring, §2.31). The Tour-Pak mounts to a luggage rack that attaches to the frame cover at the rear. Frame cover fasteners torque to 15-20 ft-lbs (per HD Service Manual 2011 Touring, §2.28). Tour-Pak mounting bolts torque to 96-120 in-lbs (per HD Service Manual 2009 Touring, §2.31). Use LOCTITE or thread-locker on hardware per the manual’s callouts. Do not skip the rear shock pressure adjustment after installation (5-10 psi added to existing pressure, not to exceed 50 psi total).
Is a Chopped Tour-Pak worth it if I need storage?
Probably not as your primary storage solution. The Chopped format gives you the best looking rear end of the three styles, but the reduced cargo volume means you’re not solving a serious storage problem. If you already have full saddlebags and want to complete the bagger aesthetic with a small rear trunk, Chopped works well as the finishing piece. If you’re trying to add meaningful cargo capacity for touring, the Razor or King is the more practical answer. Most HDForums threads on Chopped Tour-Paks frame them as a style addition, not a storage addition.
