Default King Tour Pack mounting

Just obtained an aftermarket king tour pack and am trying to find info on mounting it to a detachable tour pack rack. My question is this: When I get a parts diagram from my local Harley dealer, it does not show a metal backing plate on the inside of the pack. When I look at a new 08 Classic pack there is a metal plate that covers the bottom that all the attachment hardware is bolted through. Is this something new for 08? If not where can I find a parts diagram that shows this?

Thanks in advance

Just installed a tour pak on my 08 RG. The plate is in the pack it is a harley pack. I would jus get a piece of sheet metal and drill some holes in it.

Should have gone with and HD...but no biggie, just get a 1/2" thick plate of 6061 Aluminum (to size of course) and set it in there.

The metal plate has been in HD King TP's since at least '95--it is not available from HD as a seperate sale part.

You will need to reinforce the after market tour pak. HD TP's have had em at least as far back as the mid 80's...
