Get the lovers you wont regret.Its quite essential on a long distance trip.You can get one of those 150 dollars sissbar bags and they hold more than tourpac anyway.Later on when ur finances allow you should get a king pack as well.With lights and chrome rack etc. tour pac gets more expensive than lovers.My 2 cents. :drink:

This is what I was really getting at. I didn't (still don't) have the money for one or the other, but I think the lowers look better than a tourpak. Also I have one of those large harley tour bags (came with one inside it as a bonus) and I can carry more crap than anyone with just saddle bags and a king pak. Also it is way easier to remove and keeps the clean lines of that way cool rear fender of the street glide. So in short: fairing lowers and a harley or t-bag for luggage.

Personaly I would get both,if I could afford it or not. Then I would take 1 week and pre pak to make sure eveything fits and then I would check the weather forcast to see if its going to rain sleet or snow, if so I would cancel my trip and stay home and work cause I cant afford both and take a trip too. There you have it.  :D

If you are asking which one looks better than I can save you a lot of money.   The SESG looks WAY better withOUT either one!!!

I also thought the context was near term utility for upcoming use.  There's a LONG list of ideas we can share to make it look better.  Lots more than just two options :huepfenlol2: .

One more here thinking that the original poster was thinking of functionality (I know we don't always buy for functional ::)) purposes. If that was/is the case then I think on a trip you will get more use out of a KTP if that's the only thing you can get before a trip. :nixweiss:

That's right, dood. I like the looks of both the lowers and a chopped tourpak (I've always regretted not getting a SEEG...), but if I could afford only one, which would be more functional on a cross country trip Chicago-LA on old Route 66 in September?

Ooohhhhhhh Route 66.  Refer to the last sentence in my reply #4.  It's subject to be 100+F in Sept.   But you'll love that route......especially through Az. and Calif. :2vrolijk_21:

Here's a couple of links for you..........

I'd be surprised if there are.  My feet would poke right through them when I hit the brake or the down shift. :nervous:  They're formed differently than the regular crash bar.

King tour pak and soft lowers with pockets.  That is the set up for winter riding on my 2009 SERG
