Seem to remember reading about reinforcing washers for the Rack that mounts to the top of the Tour Pak. Idea being to "spread out" the weight on the mounting points a little.


I thought about just using some Chrome or Stainless Steel washers from the hardware store, but before I do that, wanted to see if someone made a product specifically for this.


Can't seem to find anything now though.


Anyone point me to a part # or supplier.


Thanks

 

I don't recall seeing mention of them. FWIW I've had the rack on several scooters and have never had a problem

 

not had a problem, but I keep the weight way down..

usually the bag on it is for down sleeping bag, light jacket and a few maps.

more of a concern to me is stress on the hinges if trying to open the TP with a bag on the rack.

You can use a large washer on the inside, but I've not seen one used on top if that's what you mean. I use large ones because they also hold up my tour pack organizer.

 

Polish some stainless fender washers and it'll add a little bling to your ride...

 

I'm not an engineer, so maybe this is an uniformed question. How would putting a large washer on the inside aid in distrbuting load on the rack?

 

Yup, I've done the same thing as Stro.

 

Thanks all, found this from Kury. Says it's made for a Honda, but don't know why it wouldn't work on our Harley's?
