If you buy the Rushmore stuff it's pre drilled. In fact, the tourpack uses studs and the holes are in the rack only.

 

My chopped tour pack came pre-drilled for the standard backrest.

If you want to put on the King style wrap-around backrest on a chopped tour pack, you'll have to drill some holes.

But the tour packs come with the holes needed for the style of backrest that is standard with that tour pack.

 

I was refering to the holes to mount it to the rack. Not the back rest pad

 

Oh, I misunderstood then.

Yes, you will have to drill those holes. And there is a template included with the rack.

 

does the tour pak come with the inside support plate and hardware?

 

I've done a couple of these. It's pretty simple. The ones I've done had pre drilled holes and yes there is a metal plate on the bottom of the tour pack

 

Actually I just did one on a 13 a few weeks ago . I put a king tour pack on my cvo custom road glide.

 

I looked on craigslist,went to swap meets, then found one on ebay for $600. delivered. I got lucky it was color matched to my bike (black pearl). It came with the backrest and 2 up docking hardware. All I had to do was buy the 4 point docking hardware for the bike. My point is look around you might find a deal.. good luck

 

Yes.

All you need to purchase is what I listed in post #3.

 

where the holes already pre-drilled?
