Great advice! I'll be receiving my Air Wing Tour-Pak luggage rack and light kit that I ordered from Chicago HD sometime next week and was a little concerned about installing it.

 

Great for rain gear in a duffel.

 

Oh wait...... forgot one very important tip. If you are married, have your wife come out to the shop and agree that your placement of the rack is perfect BEFORE you drill.

 

I was too big of a chicken to do it on my own. I paid a half hour labor to have the dealer do it. I know, I'm a looser! Better they screw up my tour-pack than me..

 

Do a forum search and you'll find a post last week from a guy who had the dealer do the rack install. The dealer placed the rack up against the backrest where it will rub and there's no room for bungees or straps.

 

I must have measured around 5 times

 

I've got the same chore to do before Sturgis. I've been putting this off, just because I hate the idea of drill holes in that brand new tour pak lid. Plus, I want to be able to use the tourpak bra with the rack on. So that complicates it just a little. Maybe I'm just getting lazy! It's happening this week though.

 

like a lot of posts have pointed out, measure about 15 times before you drill! It honestly is a piece of cake.

 

Nothing to it ! I've done 3 of my Ultra's-- blue tape-- measure twice-- drill once-- a little silicon in the holes and you're done

 

It is a piece of cake, I took one off of my "05 and moved it to the new '09. Even without the template it is a no brainer.
