I finally found my pumpkin.  She only has 10K on her and is absolutely perfect.  Here is the question.

She came with a factory painted King TP.  Do I keep it or sell it?  If I sell it, what is it worth?

I would keep it, you never know you might choose to do an extended trip and be glad of the extra space, another reason I would keep it would be that if at some stage in the unforseen future you might want to trade in your Pumpkin ................

May never run across another one if you decided you wanted one later.  Keep it.

[Twolanerider]

You can't buy them new anymore.....

Keep it if you decide to sell I will gladly buy it

Keep it... BTW the bike didn't come stock w/the KTP it was a $800+ option. I got the KTP when I purchased my bike w/detachable mount. I only use it when I travel (once/twice a year) but when it is needed it's great to have it.

The King Tour Pak is a heluva lot cheaper than getting a trailer and a hitch and a harness and.....   Well, you get the picture.  And I'm dumb enough to have two bikes, four tour paks and a trailer; so I should know !

Ok, a little less smart ass.  Some kind of extra storage beyond the saddle bags is very handy.  The tour pak is actually the most convenient regular access point you'll have.  So that's in your favor.  If you leave it on the bike you will use it.

Chopped versus king.  You'd have to buy the chopped.  Right off the bat that's a negative.  The chopped does look better.  And it can hold stuff.  Just not lots of stuff.  Will hold a half helmet.  Nothing taller.  So if you're carrying much the King pak is a better option.

If you prefer the boulevard cruiser look and would only use extra storage for travel the King is definitely the way to go.  Not on that often but when it is on you've got as much space as you can have.

Unless you're never going to do more than local hopping on the bike the tour pak will be a benefit.  If it's always only going to be a local hopper than sell it and buy more chrome.

OK the majority is overwhelming.  I will keep it.  I didn't realize that the part is unavailable. I will clear a spot on the shelf for it for my 2 annual rally rides.  When the 4 children get a little older maybe I can use the TP more.

Yeah........   Even if they're small four is too many to stick in a tour pak.  Good choice.

If you fold them right they will fit.  But only in a KingTP. 

[Cvostu]

you have no idea how hard it would be to locate one if you wanted one.  I'm sure you would have no problem selling it, but you would surely regret it if you did.
