For those looking for a tour pack, there appears to be some reasonably priced aftermarket Harley 2014+ clones on ebay.
Some come with side LED light bars, but I haven't found any yet that come with the 2014+ style rear brake, running, turn LEDs.

There also seems to be a wide varying range of quality in these. Makes me nervous about what it is you actually get. Did you buy that particular one?Quote:

The hardest part was finding rear LED running/turn/brake lights for it. I immediately replaced the weather seal to make a tighter fit between the lid and the trunk pan. I threw away the "chrome" rack that came with mine. Don't recommend the racks they include and cheaper to find one without.Quote:

Shipping is $35 and there is a 30 day return policy on some of these.
I was shopping hard for them a few months ago and had pretty much decided on the later model style ones. but the one I was looking at were closer to the $700 mark. I was leary of the less expensive ones having read review after review.Quote:

When the turn signal or flashers comes on, it disables the brake and running combo lights so the turn signal wins over the brake and running light. If just the running light is on when the turn signal goes on, it blinks off/bright/off/bright instead of dim/bright/dim/bright which makes it much more visible.
Yeah these seemed like quality pieces, at least I could tell from online, but they did not include any lighting or speaker pods. You could buy them with the holes for the lights and speaker pods or not. Came with a back rest.Quote:

SO are you looking to get this one?
I won't get one unless I can get the lights for it. I questioned the one vendor and they said they did not have the rear lights for them at this time.Quote:
