You were suppose to have a plate in the tour pack to prevent that specific thing from happening. The amazon brands dont include them and you have to buy them separately.
I think Advanblack and TCMT are the same tour pack. They're both Chinese made. I watched another video recently from a guy who had the same issue with the cracked bottom on his Advanblack king pack.
The king tour pak body flexes even with a bottom plate. The latch stays locked but opens up anyway. Need to stiffen inside corners get HD latch. Might help.
I'm sorry for the not good experience. Our technical engineer reviewed your installation video and gave the following suggestions. This is the excessive bearing capacity and uneven road surface, the downward movement of the king tour pack and the cutting force generated by the edge of the tour pack frame after turbulence make the tour pack and the tour pack's frame mounting surface crack. If no baseplate is installed inside, it is recommended to use a large gasket. At the same time, regarding this order, you can contact the seller for after-sales service. If you have any further questions, please let us know.
Thanks for getting back with me. I installed a base plate and that still happened. I was not shoot with this situation but I am happy to see that you guys reached out which is ok in my book.
Did you have the steel mounting plate that is recommended for the inside? What size mounting bolts and nuts did you use? Finally what quick disconnect rack did you get as well? I have the TCMT 10" chopped set-up with steel inner bottom plate half inch stainless steel screws and nuts and XMFT lowers I have put approximately 50 thousand miles or so down with no failures on a 2015 Street Glide which is now at 98 thou. There are a few other tricks that are suggested to do when using the AMAZON after market parts. However my latest purchase a 2022 Road Glide Limited negated the need to do all of that over again. Just wanted to know how you mounted the unit as I was thinking of purchasing the King for the Street Glide!
Tour pack has to have a plate inside to mount to the bracket, otherwise this is what happens. I have the same setup but I have the plate on the inside.
Lol you getting wiser why I got the full dresser 1 carry everything I need 2 azz end is lit up like a Xmas tree 3 speakers 4 honey dip is comfortable back there
Thanks... You just saved me some cash I was just looking at a chopped from TCMT. But I think I will travel the way I've always traveled with my Military Duffel or Outlaw Duffel. Everything else goes into the saddlebags.
You need a the plate and also there is sponge like that you put on the bracket to prevent it from vibrating. TCMT is good quality. Your the first review so far that had a bad experience. The fact that you travel over thousands of miles it still held up should tell you something.
Happy 4th of July. Thanks for the follow-up. Question, did you put the steel plate inside? Im in the process of looking at adding a tour pack. Thank you
I should have said you used the improper mounting plate. Not the plate that fits in the recess that you used but the large plate that covers most of the inside of the box molded to enclose the recess.You know the one with the ground terminal tabs..Not my first rodeo either. I've been building and riding bikes since I was 12, I'm 68 now...
This recessed plate you are talking about, why do they only offer a flat plate on their website. Is the recessed plate a newer design or outdated? Only videos or reviews I see only show the flat plate which makes be believe the recessed one is newer and the flat is outdated. But they won’t sell the recessed one on TCMT website. Has picture of it though. Like to hear your opinion on this.
Bro, what did I say in the video? Don’t buy the cheap stuff like I did. Don’t go looking for reasons to buy cheap. Just make the investment and call it a day. 💪🏽💯
I had TCMT chopped and King tour paks , lowers for my old Street glide. Had trouble with latches staying closed. Ended up spending big bucks on a king tour pak from HD for my CVO Street glide. I figured why put that knock off shit on a 40K bike. I do like Advanblacks products 💪🏿
Exactly! There are companies that make great things like advanblack and hogworkz. It doesn’t have to be harley but you can lose with any of the three. No more cheap crap for me.
You identified the big issue with this cheap king tour pak. The tour pak body flexes and the cheap latch while still latched separates from the lid and your stuff is bouncing down the highway. On my replacement I lined the inside box corners with metal mesh and Bondo to stiffen it up but still not enough stiffness. I used a metal floor too. Maybe put a HD latch which costs over $200 prolly close to 300 with the lock. Imo TCMT is dishonest with the reviews. I bought mine a couple years ago and there were many bad reviews about this issue and now theres no mention of this problem. I will say that when I sent a pic to TCMT with broken twisted hinges I got a replacement 8:13 TP immediately.
Naw but yo that's wild cause I have the same brand tour pack but the chop and haven't used mine yet cause I wanted to get it painted. Now I'm just bout get one from AB
I would save money on getting it painted. Definitely get the better brand. Advan Black and Hogworkz are great. Use this link if you decide to go with HogWorkz: tinyurl.com/2p9d8ykp
Man I have one but have not used it yet but I did get the warranty but damn I'll see what happens and by the way how long did you have the tour pac (KING) ?
When you become a hard-core long distance rider, you can't buy cheap equipment for your bike. Your bike is bouncing up and down for thousands of miles, sending shockwaves through the frame, engine, and fairings. Cheap accessories and parts won't survive that type of punishment. Unfortunately, you have to spend the money for quality parts from Harley-Davidson or any of their authorized part suppliers, and that's going to come with a hefty price tag.
I wouldn’t want to risk being that cheap based on what happened to mine. One is good enough. I personally don’t care about buying the harley brand. But 3 Amazon kings could buy one Advanblack or Hogworkz.
Let me know when you guys have something in your area so I could take a ride down. You and hubby is killing it and I’m proud to see you getting out on these roads. Much love sis.💪🏽💯
I had the plate installed. Not my first rodeo Obwan. I was not happy to see that this thing cracked the way it did. But I’m thankful that no one got hurt.

Where is the metal plate!! I even put groceries in mine, zero issues over 5 years! No plate even the OEM one would break!!
My thoughts exactly
another video made by someone who doesn't know what they're doing
Great point, I bought this one but also bought the base plate. This vide doesn't say if he had one installed?
I think Advanblack and TCMT are the same tour pack. They're both Chinese made. I watched another video recently from a guy who had the same issue with the cracked bottom on his Advanblack king pack.
Truth
Finally, a real review. Thank you, you just saved me from buying something cheap.
Great review. Thanks for letting us know what to expect. Glad you caught it before it suffered catastrophic failure
Same here. Now it’s time to get a much better one. Let’s go!💪🏽
The king tour pak body flexes even with a bottom plate. The latch stays locked but opens up anyway. Need to stiffen inside corners get HD latch. Might help.
I had same problem with the chopped! I thought maybe I broke it by overloading it!!! You may have saved a life with this video😂
Did you have the metal plate on the inside. The base of the tour pak gets sandwiched between the metal plate and the docking mount.
I'm sorry for the not good experience.

I had the plate, proper screws, lock pin, etc
Dude, I am now sold on a king tour pack. "I love it" awesome video, and I'm looking into a pair of TCMT lowers myself for my road glide.
Yeah man, the king tour pack is the truth. The lowers are going to look good on your bike.
Tour pack has to have a plate inside to mount to the bracket, otherwise this is what happens. I have the same setup but I have the plate on the inside.
Thanks for sharing. Great honest review. I was thinking of getting a Razor tour pack from them. Not any moe! lol
Not any moe..🤣🤣🤣🤣💯
Lol you getting wiser why I got the full dresser 1 carry everything I need 2 azz end is lit up like a Xmas tree 3 speakers 4 honey dip is comfortable back there
HECK YEAH!

Truth but it happened and never Happened to any other tour pack that I’ve owned without the big plate inside.
WOW! King is the way to go. HR3 sent me my tour pack. I haven’t had a problem yet.
That’s a much better build than TCMT. I’m getting the Hogworkz brand. Once you go king you can’t go back.
Happy 4th of July. Thanks for the follow-up. Question, did you put the steel plate inside? Im in the process of looking at adding a tour pack. Thank you
I definitely did have the steel plate inside.
That some great info that I can use..... the voices change was funny..... awesome video Bruh I'm hooked on your channel now.....10-4
Much appreciated Slappy. Let’s keep on building this community. 💪🏽💯
I did not have the cracking problem, but the latch would not keep the lid shut. Quality is defiantly lacking.
Like the voice change. Great information
Glad you enjoyed it. I'm definitely going with HogWorkz. This thing was terrible.

Thanks bro. You just saved me some money and frustration!
I’m happy to hear that. Go
with Hogworkz or Advanblack. I have a link in my description if you choose to go with Hogworkz. 💯
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Ayo bro the voice switch up had me dying bro, word 🤣🤣🤣
😆😆😆😆
King Tour pack is a must have for a rider. If you never leave city limits....it doesn't matter!
I Agree and approve this message. 🤣🤣
Thanks for the review
Give us 25 pushups for going cheap lol. Happy 4th and many more Bro.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I got you.
Ive had a knockoff for several years and way overloaded probably to many times. The crack never happened..but the latch sucks.
King is the way to go I love mines. Advan Black is the way to go.
I agree on all sides. I can’t wait to get my king back on my bike.
Thanks for the review. I was looking at the same tour pack. But do you think it was more of a one off or not?
Bro, what did I say in the video? Don’t buy the cheap stuff like I did. Don’t go looking for reasons to buy cheap. Just make the investment and call it a day. 💪🏽💯
I just bought one of these for my ‘19 RoadGlide, now you got me worried should I return it🤔
Get the big base plate for
It. You should be fine.
King tour pack is a must.
Yup

Did you buy the metal plate to put inside it for mounting?
Yup
Did you have the reinforcement plate installed?
I do now
My first bike was a Katana 750
I love the Katana. I wish I still had mine.
Thanks !!
You're welcome!
Man I have one but have not used it yet but I did get the warranty but damn I'll see what happens and by the way how long did you have the tour pac (KING) ?
I had it for 4 months. But I rode the heck out of my bike on these long trips. TCMT definitely didn't hold up well.
Great review! Trial and error bro.
Exactly. It’s a great way to learn in life. 💪🏽💯

I'll buy 3 king amazon tour packs that'll be cheaper than 1 harley king tourpak.

You mena the same price @@JustGKue
I like the voice 😅😅😅😅
Thats my twin brother
(I’m not talking about TMZ, I’m talking about cheap TCMT) lol

Gotta gave a decent tour pack
🤣🤣 Says the woman who fought getting one for so long. So happy you got yours. Your bike is looking mean. I’m jealous. 💪🏽💯
@@ridefitnation lol yep these trips made me give in. Thanks

If you had installed the Harley metal plate on the inside it would never have cracked...Plate is about $30 bucks....jus sayin
I had the plate installed. Not my first rodeo Obwan. I was not happy to see that this thing cracked the way it did. But I’m thankful that no one got hurt.

Wrong. The sides can and do crack. See my other post.
Had a horrible experience with tcmt
Send me your cracked one...I'll fix it and use it....
In the trash
Lmfaoff 🤣🤣
Advanblack, propad. Hogworks ND TCMT all get the tourpak from the same manufacturer. Your mistake was not ordering the full size mounting plate. With out it you will break. The new one aswell. You made a mistake
Yup! I purchased it a while back. I never knew they had the full size metal frame. We live and learn
You just saved me from making a mistake .
