Thank you so much for the information, I'll be on the phone with them in the morning.

 

make a couple more posts; I think you need a minimum of 10 before you'll be able to see pictures.

 

Thank you so much, I can now see the photos. I also have the information needed, the '80's shovel fairing is exactly what I want/need, exactly like Mr grbrown's set up. I picked up an '80 tourpak a few years ago and it was a direct bolt on, and a little wiring. The search is on.

 

Hello Amckee2, Are you still in the Myrtle Beach area? I live in Conway.

 

Hello...sorry if this comes through twice, I was wondering if you still live in the Myrtle Beach area? I live in Conway.

 

Sounds good! When installing my tourpak, ex-1986 Glide, I rewired it internally and incorporated a qd electrical connector in the floor. I had to make a simple add-on harness, to wire the lights into the bike, so getting a connector of some sort was inevitable. I used a 'panel-mounted' socket and twist-and-lock plug, a budget version of the sorts of units used on military equipment. That way your tourpak will be as quick to mount or remove as all these fancy flashy more modern types - without the trouble and expense!

 

The gentleman I bought my tourpak from said it had come off an '86 and it's vivid black a perfect match for my bike, he only wanted $200 for it, I scooped it up the day I spoke to him. I did a similar wiring job with mine, ez on ez off 4 screws and a plug. The wife really liked it and has actually fallen asleep back there on long highway rides. Unfortunately I had an accident with my bike in 2011. Between the insurance company and the stealership that put her back together they were able to do everything except repairing the tourpak without me paying too much. I am now retired and can do body and fiberglass work (something I actually enjoy) so the plan is to repair it now, unless I come across another one cheap enough.
