Tour Pack Lid Tether For Harley Touring Street Road Glide FLHX FLHR 14-23

I recently bought a tourpak and got the liner with it. To add the liner, you have to remove the plastic piece on the bottom portion for the tether, as there is a cutout in the liner to accommodate it. This has to be the cheapest part on any Harley product I've purchased. As soon as I tried to re-install it, one of the round plastic parts the screw goes into snapped off. Total junk... Anyway, not going to engineer my own solution (yet), so I bought this. It's practically the same thing, but I was glad the plastic had not been pre-threaded. It comes with small black screws, but you can use the originals, which are better IMO and have a washer to protect your finish. They threaded themselves into the plastic just fine. I recommend using a t-handle torx driver if you have one so you can go into the part nice and straight with a lot of control. I'd also disregard any torque values in your tourpak instructions. I won't touch these cheap-as-hell plastic parts with a torque wrench. Simply hand-tighten and walk away. I was also able to use the original upper portion (where the tether retracts to). Hope this helps someone. No instructions are included, so these reviews are the instructions. Although I don't have faith in this lasting forever (or even surviving a 25 mph wind gust), it should do for now.

Just what I needed

Broke on install. Couldn't even get 1 of 2 screws in and snap.

Excellent, high quality tether!! Great on my new Road Glide. If u riders will open and close those tour paks gently, these will last forever, just like the oem ones that don’t retract! I recommend this item highly, also, very reasonably priced!

This product works very well for my tour pack.

Easy to install just like the one I had

easy installation, received very fast.

Thought was going to be a good replace for my bike. First time I opened my trunk lid. It shot the spring out. Very disappointed in this product.
