Would like to see some pics of this bike with the fxr tour pack. Video only show the pack
Dude - I appreciate your help with this video ! I was searching for a rack for my FXLRST - and you solved my problem!
Happy to help!
Thanks for going over the tour pack, I’ve been looking into this one for my sporty and can’t find much out there on it. You pretty much have me sold on it now, thanks!
Since this video was made I have put over 16,000 miles on the bike with the tour pack on and it has been great! 20 different states, tons of rain storms and zero problems so far.
@@MikeBaker___ that’s great to hear! I’ve had a good experience from my saddlebags from nastyhog, so I was hoping their tour packs would have the same quality
I'm glad there are mods like these being released. It's not as attractive as the king tour pack from Avanblack and with that same mounting plate with a very slight modification. It's in my opinion much nicer. But this is a great alternative at that price. Thank you for sharing.
Very nice,I bought the same as you, I think it fits better than the razor from the big baggers,but I think you mixed up the bushings and that’s why it didn’t fit
Hey mike I have been watching your video and I purchased the same tour pack for my lowrider did yours come with mounting hardware? Mine didn’t come with any and my top lid is all scarached from packaging I just wanted to know did you have any of these issues with yours ?
I just ordered this kit (thanks for your recommendation!) and found some changes to the hardware.. There are actually two separate sizes of dowel to mount the bracket THAT DOES NOT REQUIRE MODIFYING THE PLASTIC SEATS.. they look extremely similar and can be mixed up.. Just a heads up!
Glad to hear this! That part was the only bummer on an otherwise awesome product. Also consider putting some loctite on the latch hardware as I did have a screw fall out, but only after thousands of miles.
I actually like that one better because it's deeper and will look better than the other.Tje other one looks to chopped and lower to me.Plus I like the fact that that it opens from the back and not the side less chance for it to get hit and knocked off.Than it would be from the side
Man just wanted to share some info with you. We did a woods can and a road rage 2 into 1 and dyno tune. Man it’s a new bike. 124hp to the ground love the power now
Hell yeah dude thanks for the info! What tuner did you use?
What are the benefits to having that top box open from that direction, versus being able to stand behind the bike, without any of your gear scratching the paint, and avoiding bending over your bike, at an awkward angle, to get to all of your gear (especially if you want to rearrange some of the stuff)?
I don't really think there's a benefit at all. I have a Sportster that is set up with a tour pack and that one is mounted in the conventional way (standing behind the bike to open) which has never been an issue for me. This is a remake of the original FXRT tour pack though which was mounted in this reverse style from the factory.
Just bought this set up. And before I go drilling do you have any tips about placement on the bracket. I wanna make sure it doesn't interfere with my rider I saw the comment on suggesting to put metal plates in the bottom for more rigidity. Thanks
I haven't had any issues with it sans plates, I've got about 8k miles with the tour pack on and it had been great! I just mounted it as centered as possible.
@@MikeBaker___ will definitely try it. Cant wait. We are going to the fast life camp out in Moyer's Oklahoma in April. Leaving from the Adirondacks.
I can’t find the metal stand ,can you give me the name or company and where did you get it please,by the way I bought the same bike and same colour,great job with your video,thanks a lot
This is the one that I have

Great job Mike! I’m on my iPad and I don’t see the description to find the Amazon link for the bracket, could you help me out please. THX
Here you go!
www.amazon.com/dp/B099ZPSLLX/ref=cm_sw_r_apa_i_M1XSS81FNFY0KKKJ2WAA_0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Thanks for the link Mike. They're sold out so I'll have to wait. Keep up the adventure and the vids.
I have a 56 litre Givi top box that has one central locking point. Interesting the opening set up on your gear.
Is there a way you can bring your top box forward if you want to keep your bike as a solo and have the top box act as a back rest on long trips.
Good question! I actually have a solo tour pack set up on my Sportster which doubles as a back rest. Very comfortable. You can't do that with this mount but if I had purchased the "solo" mount rather than the "2 up" mount then it would sit right behind my back just like you described.
I guess you could have avoided all the cutting when you mounted the bushings for the Quick release the right way. On my FXLRS the OEM HoldFast Docking Hardware is mounted switched compared to what you did on your Bike... The Bushing with the wider Gap sits more to the Front of the Bike.
All of the supplied docking hardware was the same size, none of it fit with that mounting bracket. It was not an OEM part, it was a $99 Amazon bracket. I'm sure if you used OEM parts then it would work fine out of the box.
@@MikeBaker___ okay so maybe they sent you some wrong Parts. Because the Guy in this Video ordered the same Amazon-Part and it fits perfectly: ua-cam.com/video/IwgpE4OKZQ0/v-deo.html
where did you find the etachable tourpack rack for the sportsglide? what company and who makes it
I found it on Amazon, the brand is XFMT. I'm not sure if they still have them available but there may be other brands that make them.
Please, send me the link to where you got all the hardware and the tour pack from. I like the tour pack better
Links are in the description! The tour pack company is called Nasty Hog.
What a great video, thanks.what about locking it on the bike?
Unfortunately the latches come with the tour pack mount are not able to be locked. You may be able to replace them with the OEM harley latches which do have locks. Or you could always use a small cable lock to secure the mount to the bike.
Glad you found this. I’m looking for a tour pak now
How strong is the material of the tour pack? Is it practical enough for a passenger to lean back on without breaking or compromising? My bike has torque, so I worry about the tour pack cracking or flexing while my lady leans back
It actually seems very strong, I have had a ton of luggage on it without issue. I would worry about breaking the tour pack before breaking the mount. Zero worries about a passenger leaning on it.
@@MikeBaker___ yes I was referring to the tour pack itself. Have no doubt about the rack. I feel like the tour pack might crack or flex under my wife's body weight leaning on it from the torque of my bike
@@phillipreyes7844 sorry, totally misunderstood! To be honest, the tour pack does feel very solid, I have no complaints about the strength at all but I'm sure that it has its limits. If you used a metal mounting plate on the inside of the tour pack to kind of "sandwich" mount it then it would probably add a bit of longevity.
@@MikeBaker___ thanks man. And thanks for the vid 👍🏼
Hey man have you found a taller windshield besides the one Harley offers. I want one with a little flip on top. Figured you have done the homework
I haven't yet! I'm hoping Klockwerks comes out with one because they're usually known for making shields with the contoured lip. I can't imagine it will be long until we start seeing some.
My st is coming in today and I'm planing on getting a tour pak for trips. I noticed you didn't have a full seat mounted. I'm not sure all the mods I will be doing yet. I'm in the Rochester area.
Hell yeah dude, you're going to love it! I have the stock seat for now but I'll be upgrading to the SDC Pro seat soon. I'm just outside of Buffalo.
@@MikeBaker___ I picked up my st today and put a whole 25 miles on it...lol I love the bike and cannot wait to put the first 250 miles on it so I can then open her up. I'm in the Palmyra area. I know my dealer has sold 5 of these bikes so I'm not sure how many there are in the area - I believe it was a myth Harley only made 300 units - I'm thinking more like 1000 to 1500 for the country. So far - I'm totally happy with this bike...
I can use the chopped Rushmore style pack instead right?
Yeah once you have the mounting rack you can use basically any tour pack that you want.
Great video again,do you have the name brand of the rack?
Thanks! I'm not sure of the name of the rack (I found it on Amazon) but I have a link for it in the description.
Hey just so u no u have the docking hardware wrong its supposed to be the fatter slot up front just so u know.
How much was the bracket? Amazon is out of stock and doesn't show what the price was
In April it was $99.99
Do they make a locking version? This seems pretty quick for someone to grab In a parking lot
You may be able to replace the latches with Harley's locking "hold fast" latches. Otherwise you can use a small cable lock to secure it to the bike.
im in western ny too. what dealer did you get your bike at?
Gowanda HD!
I'm gonna make it work with mine brother! Awesome video!
Do you need a plate between the tour pack & attachment?
Nope, the tour pack bolts straight to the mount.
@@MikeBaker___ thank you & great vid
Thanks again for the info
WOW they came back out with them locking Tour Pak latches. HD used them years ago before they went obsolete.
Check with FXR Division they keep them in stock.
@@robertrodriguez2412 do you know if they work as direct replacements for the factory latches? Unfortunately most of the guys looking for locking latches are probably long dead. This is back in the 80s
🔥🔥
Awesome video
What docking hardware did you use?
Factory Harley, although the tour pack mount comes with the hardware.
Greet video/and informative.
Do you have a link for the low profile plate mount?
Yep

💯👍
please, what is your front crash bar ?
Bung King
Link for order please
Links in description!
How heavy is it?
ABS plastic. Mounting rack is heavier than Tour Pak.
It's actually very light, the rack is definitely heavier than the tour pack. Lighter than a similar size plastic hard case.
Great work.
Thank you!
No passenger seat
With it raised 2” could this bike be an alternative to a street glide? I kind of like the idea of the low rider st. I just worry it’s too small
The ST is actually raised 1" from the previous Low Riders and features 5.5" suspension travel in the front as well as 4.5" in the rear. I think this is more than a Street Glide from the factory so I don't think you'd need to raise the ST!
@@MikeBaker___ sorry I guess I meant 2” above normal soft tails. I’m just going to go ride one. It seems like it would do well on long distance rides
Definitely ride one if you get the chance, I really think you'll like it. There's a ton of taller aftermarket shocks that you could install though if you wanted to raise it further.
@@MikeBaker___ so I test ride the low rider st yesterday. It’s def big enough. My only complains are the weird high pegs and the little led display. But boy does this motorcycle ride smooth? It’s a great machine. The sales guy was really cool and he let me really ride the bike. I love the way it rides. I could get over the little nuances. I was hoping to find a reason not to buy one. It’s a great bike. We will see how well I’m disciplined in waiting for these to hit the used market 😂
Why not buy a Road King? If you're going to make a "Touring" bike out of that softail, why not buy a touring bike?
A Road King is a way larger step toward touring and away from the "sport" aspect. This bike is much lighter, handles better, has more lean angle, and is much faster. It's also quite a bit less expensive considering my dealer didn't really mark this bike up. For my style of riding, it's better than a Road King in every way.
@@MikeBaker___ In every way... Hmm. Ok.
@@allwrong3114 I agree with him. I sell HD and can definitely see the appeal of touring on the ST over any other HD model.
@@motomenace5243 Looks like great bike. To each his own. I'll stick to the RKS. It's fast, nimble, and a highway star. Every man has his favorite suit. But not every fine suit fits every man. Remember young groms, all roads lead to baggers.✌
@@allwrong3114 it has bags.
Road kings are great bikes. I love Road kings but they cannot compete with the lowrider st in anything.
The St handles better has way more power/weight ratio
And costs less!
You can like what you like but the st is hands down the better option.
Nice video
I hope you don’t have any problems with it like I did mine. HORRIBLE paint. And customer service is about non existent. If you know a way to get in touch with them please let me know.
Hopefully mine holds up! I'll definitely be putting it through the ringer. The only customer service experience I've had with them is when the back rest showed up without the tour pack. I inquired about the ship date for it and they replied the same day. A few days later the pack arrived. I'll update you if necessary!
Sure, lock the case, Ima just use the quick release and steal the whole thing 🤦♂️
Looks cheaply made.
that looks like a cheap bagger offcut.
Muddled crap.
Suitcase of the Sport glide, a fairing make cheap with a mouse cinema speedometer, so honestly, I'd rather have a used a old bagger.
