I've had the opposite of the tether break. The wind blew the top closed while I was looking in. Hit my $400 prescription glasses that I had on my head. Scratched both lenses and broke the frame! (yes...it was VERY windy!) Since then I got the Ultra brace. Pricy yes but solves the tether problem.
Thanks for the comment & Info! Man, that is a bummer about your glasses. I've seen the Ultra Brace installed on a few TP's. Folks that have them really seem to like them.
After watching this, I added one to my triglide. Easy. I used a crimp lug inder the seatback nut and set it so the added lanyard was almost taught when the OEM retractable lanyard stopped.
Great tip ! My factory teather broke last year so I know what you mean luckily my tour pak didnot get damaged. I installed a Harley retractable teather actually a cable that I had from a previous bike. These should come standard for what we pay for these bikes
If I could wish for you guys to make one thing that so so much needed it would be a lock of some sort for the quick detach windscreens that come with or are available for the softtails. It’s way too easy for someone to take it off and pop it on their bike and ride away.
HD replaced one on ours the paint failed under the clear coat , it was 2 tone blue and I think the lid was around $500.00 but we had to pay the labor , I didn’t mind after all they replaced it with no cost for the part
@@talkingrock7011 As a rule, there are exceptions, Harley has been good about warranty on their paint with the 3 foot rule. Really good to hear they took care of you!
Where can you get what? A safety tether? It is explained how to make one in 10 minutes for 10 cents in the video. Don't know anyone that makes one for sale.
Link to some paracord for your Safety Tether- www.amazon.com/dp/B072QN2HFQ?ref=exp_dkcustomproducts_dp_vv_d
Great idea. I just made one with some dacron rope and ring terminals I had in the garage.
Very cool! Glad you like the video! Thank you for commenting! MB

I've never used one, so can't vouch for it, but it looks like Memphis Shades makes one already.
Great idea.
Thanks, appreciate the comment.

The tour pack lid is a expensive part and takes weeks to obtain if damaged
Yep. Seen too many broken/cracked.
