This aftermarket system enables the rapid attachment and removal of a motorcycle luggage carrier, commonly known as a tour pack, from Harley-Davidson motorcycles. It typically consists of docking hardware installed on the motorcycle’s fender struts and a corresponding mounting plate attached to the tour pack. This configuration allows for convenient switching between a touring configuration with the added storage and a more streamlined, solo riding setup.
The adoption of such a system provides increased versatility for motorcycle owners. It allows for the adaptation of the motorcycle to different riding needs, such as long-distance travel or shorter, more casual rides. The quick detach functionality preserves the aesthetic appeal of the motorcycle when the additional storage is not required and potentially enhances its handling characteristics. This system addresses the evolving demands of riders who seek both practicality and visual customization.
