My tour pak came in yesterday and I spent about 2 hours getting everything together and on the bike. At first I had some reservations about adding a tour pak thinking it would take away from the looks of my bike; but, it seems to balance things out a bit, the height and size seem to compliment the fairing and the storage will be great during road trips. I'm only going to use it for road trips since I like the looks of the bike without it. Whether or not it's worth the money who knows, I suppose when you spend as much $ as you do just buying a SERG what's a few money $ for convenience. I'll post some photos later.

With that much orange in a cager's face the saftey factor should have gone up even more.

 

I am waiting for the pictures.. I do miss my storage space in my 08 Ultra. Can't wait to see how yours turned out..

 

I didn't check my emails yesterday so I couldn't have seen your post. I rode into a wall of bugs yesterday and had to do some serious cleaning when I got home, which required removing the tour pak. I'll put it back on tonight or tomorrow and send some pics.

 

Chopped tour paks seem to be made for Road Glides they follow the natural flow

 

Jamesgarner - Just ordered one for my stardust silver 09 SERG and dealership said figure 10-12 weeks for delivery due to the paint requirement. Did yours take that long?
Also ordered the spoiler and LED courtesy light kit; saw both on another RG and liked them.

Jack:
It took 4-5 weeks to get mine. I didn't order the spoiler or LED lights, I saw them on a silver SERT and thought they looked great; I just didn't want to drill any holes in mine.

You may want to consider buying a different configuration for your antenna - I had to remove mine or drill the tour pak or find some other way to relocate it since it is in the way with the tour pak. I ordered a digital dakota hidden antenna that will be mounted inside the fairing. It's still on order.

The paint job on the silver SERG is amazing in direct sunlight - the photos do not do it justice! Have you given any thought about the catalytic converters - you'll see how much power they eat. The fix is easy and doesn't cost an arm and a leg and can be done by someone with limited mechanical skills like me.


You are going to love your SERG! The power, ride and handling are more like a sport bike that a touring bagger, far better than I expected. I got mine on 02/28 and just rolled over 4,000 miles. Riding it is an absolute joy!

 

Jamesgarner - I've been on business travel and only now have time to respond. Thanks for your comments re chopped tour pack. I too ordered an antenna that mounts within fairing. Don't remember brand name of it, but cost ~$28 as I recall. When I spoke to another rider who had done the same thing he explained that his first "cheap" fairing mounted antenna didn't provide good reception; he subsequently upgraded it to a ~$100 version that he states now works well. Let me know how yours works out!

I have not considered the catalytic converter removal yet, but might at a later time.
