Tour Pak vs. Luggage Rack w/ HD-Style Luggage

I bought the liner bag HD sells for the tour-pak. It's priced reasonably and is definitely handy if you are keeping the TP fully packed with luggage on long trips. For overnight trips though I mainly use the side bags and TP rack bag for our luggage and leave the TP empty so I have a place to lock up the helmets and gloves at stops, store the wife's hand bag, etc.

I've got both a Tour-Pak and a soft luggage sissybar bag (HD's excellent multi fit touring bag). I'm using the 4-point dock for both with a detachable luggage rack when I use the soft luggage.
I have to say that the Tour-Pak wins hands down for convenience, security, ease of access, passenger comfort and sheer volume (and if it's not enough you can put a rack bag on top of it). The only time I bother to use my sissybar bag is when I'm on a solo run and want to the bike to be a little lighter and to look more stripped down. Otherwise it's tour-pak all the way.

I sold my back rest and rack and just have the king tourpak. It is super convenient, and you end up leaving it on more than not. The Wife likes the backrest, and the rack grabs a bag. I changed the latches to the premium ones. I'd get them when you order the tourpak, and have a dealer build it for you. If they miss drill... they buy a new one. Go detachable for when you want your own look, and going for a day trip somewhere...
Best o luck.
