Did anyone out there try or know if you can modify a 2014 tour pack to fit a 2013 roadglide? I'm looking for a removeable king tour pak for my atomic orange glide. I like the fact you can fit more in the 2014 paks. I'm sure I'm not going to be able to get a color matched one from the dealer so I'll need to get it painted. Just wondering everyones thoughts on this...good idea...bad idea...waste of money...problems I might encounter???

Thanks in advance for any input,

Dean

RC, Let me start by saying your bike looks awesome with that chopped tour pak!!! It's making me rethink my decision to go with the king pak. I had no idea the docking points were the same for the 2014's.
Just a couple of questions....Does the 2014 detachable mount put the backrest at the same location as the detachable sissy bar backrest?...What's the going rate to have a tour pak custom painted? (it's been a while since I had anything painted)...Is there anything you would have done differently if you had to do it again?

Thanks RC for taking the time to help me
             and
Thanks Wrongway for posting the link the wrightway (for us computer challenged bikers)

I tried the 13 rack. It was to close. Closer than stock sissybar and pad. So I purchased the 14 rack because there are slots for adjustment. Actually mine is adjusted all the way forward now. BSR loves it. Xtreme's paint and scheme worked out great. Can't say enough good things about them. I had to have my older Corbin pad worked a little but it turned out well. They don't make one for the chopped box yet. The chopped box actually has more cubic inches of space than the older King box. Very happy with set up.

Just curious,  does having the tourpak hanging that far off the rear of the bike affect your handling? For example does the front feel a little light at times?  I only ask because I've noticed that if I put to much stuff in mine the front end can get a little squirley and the CUSE pack doesn't seem to hang as far off the back.

I agree... If you compare the position of the '14 TP on that SG, it appears a lot further back than on an Ultra.  Just looking at the position of the back of the TP as compared to the rear fender, it seems to be out way further than my Ultra.

Having said that, the '14 TP looks amazing on that bike.

That's one of the reasons I don't like having the KTP on my bike... only put it on when I have to for travelling (and before somebody chimes in... that's not often). First time I ever used it I had only had the bike for a month, first multi-day bike trip (Sturgis), and packed to much stuff. Went to take off on the bike and it felt like the front end wasn't touching the road.

I thought the rumors were that an appearance in Maggie Valley was imminent.

Tell you what, if he rides to the Valley, I will clean that beautiful bike of yours (it's ok, I'm experienced) so you can enter DickW's contest.
He will talk a lot but he's not going to show.
I called Tommy's bookie to see if anyone was placing bets. They said no and are calling d00d's showing a non event.
See you in the Valley!
