ok so i've got a 2009 standard road king, but i would assume that all 2009-2010 tourers have this.(checked my father's 2005 and it ain't there) While giving the bike its first wash of the season, i removed right side panel and VOILA. There's this big empty rack that one could mistake for a battery case. In fact it's about half the size of a battery. So what goes here? Maybe there is something here on the bigger fancier touring models?

 

That is where your ABS unit would be if you had ABS.

 

 

ahhhhhhh. abs. mystery solved. screw it, i'm gonna try and fit tools in there. thanx.

 

Hear a rumor that the 2011 are going to have an 8 track player. Maybe that is where you can store your 8 tracks?

I use mine for the compressor of my air horn.

 

I was hoping to use it as a stash compartment for crossing the border.

 

8 tracks! I knew they would make a comeback.

 

No to hijack - but there are certain albums I have on CD or MP3 which I listen to today - *still* expect to hear the damn 8 track switch mid or in between certain songs! I started driving in the late 70's and had a big ole Buick with an 8 track. Fond memories of the *click* (and gas at 67 cents a gallon).

 

I hope 8 track comes back,I still have my Craig Powerplay cassette player!

 

That's where I hide 20 bucks cash!!!
