Let's see if I can hit all the questions.
1) The king Tour Pac looks just like JCZ's #2 photo. It is black with the same stripes etc on the cover that are on that photo.
2) I am using the quick release set-up. My plan is to switch back and forth from the stock seat/sissybar set-up to the tour pac/touring seat depending on if I am just riding around local or on my long trips...or if my wife is along...she's the one who demaded the touring seat and the big armchair backrest on the tourpack!
3) I am using the comfort stitch seat from Harley. (The SERK uses the Road King version of that seat as we know.) I went with this seat because both my wife and I liked the seat on the '02 Ultra I had before this, I knew it would fit, and because the passenger portion of this seat is the widest I have found...not that my wife has a wide bottom!!! (She may read this by accident!)
4) I ordered the Tour Pac on 10/28/03 and it arrived on 1/9/04.
Finally, the King Tour Pac does not come with a lock. Apparently the short one does. I think the lock is about $10.
Finally, finally, I needed to get an antenna relocation kit as well in order to switch back and forth the way I mentioned before.
