leather tour pak lid lock
I scored a leather tour pak with mounting rack today for only $175!!!!!
Certainly not new, but I'd say it's condition is a 7 out of 10
Now I would like to put a lock kit on it.
Does anyone know of a lock kit other than the Stealer one that runs $150+?
Thanks,

Definitely got yourself a bargain. Been awhile but I'm sure I have over 600 in my pak and rack. I researched the lock subject to death and never found anything at a price I was willing to spend.
Even the lock for the detachable rack is way overpriced and stupidly designed to boot. You have to be a contortionist to use the key on it. Far as the lid itself, when I'm staying overnight at a motel I may fashion a hasp out of 2 zipties that I put on the straps and secure with a small padlock. Other times I may just throw a lock on the buckle for looks. Just looking to discourage the ****** and graps because face it, a leather tour pak isn't going to hold up well to a determined thief with enough time.
I've also used a motion detector under my bike cover or in the pak and/or saddlebags with the receiver being in my motel room. I use the cheapo driveway alerts from harbor freight but there are better systems available. Anyone takes the cover off or opens the bag, I know about it. As long as I'm in my room .
Not that I keep anything of value in the pak or bags when staying overnight anyway. But if someone messes with the bike I want to know about it.
