 I agree with Greg. I think you might be asking for it. Heck how many retractable iron cords work after a few times. Those of you that iron would know what I'm talking about  Good luck.

Have you ever tried to install one?  I bought one, and then decided not to install it after reading through the installation.

What's with the install?

It requires drilling holes in the tour pack and using special rivets (not included) to attach.

Here's a great "new" product from the MoCo and a lot cheaper than the piano hinge many have switched to.

That's how this thread started--link posted on first page. Or did this post get merged with this thread?

I'm thinking I'm out if I have to do all that

Just in case some of you misunderstood what SteveFLHTK was talking about, the one that requires drilling several holes is the folding metal brace from eglide goodies, not the retractable cord that is the subject of this thread.  That one just attaches to the stock points in place of the stock cable.

I mentioned the one from eglide goodies in an earlier post as being something I would be much more likely to trust than the new retractable cord that looks like an oversized security badge cord.  And drilling a few small holes for pop rivets is no big deal.  It's the same method used by the manufacturer to attach the hinges and latches to the TP.  I believe you will find that it's all hidden behind the passenger backrest if you're worried about appearance.

just undo either the top or bottom of the oem tether and twist it one time, it will coil intself into the TP. if it coils outward, then twist it in the other direction. never had an issue with it.

Don't even have to undo it.  It'll loop on it's pivot point.

I installed one and it works great. Very nice piece of gear and no more worries over the cord not be properly stored in the tour pack.

I installed 4.
SERG, SEEG, SEUC and 03 Classic.
Took about 10 minutes each.
Works great!
