How do you lock your tour pack to the bike?

DGlide04

Harley has locks for the detachable brackets, you can buy one or a set of two if you really want to lock it down.

A harley or other brand coiled cable that's protected with plastic winds through the quick-detach pack bracket and the rear fender supports just fine and it has the added convenience of being a place you can lock your helmets to the bik. The lockable quick-detach devices work OK for the sissy bar, but the key is too long to fit when using the tour pack bracket, duh. I've seen some people cut the handle down on the key but then it's hard to operate.

I simply heated the shaft of the key & bent it 90*. Works just fine now.  :up:

It's not about gun control.
