hiring a electra glide - top capacity

[dxtans]

Hello,
Off to US in the summer and hiring an electra glide.
Does any body know the capacity of the top box, so I can get
a suitable sports / travel bag for it.

Thanks

It's unlikely a rental bike would have the rack on the top. It's an optional extra on everything except an Ultra

My 2010 Ultra Classic came without a rack, then again; it was not a US model.

The weight limit with or without is still 10kg.

The official capacity of a Tour Pak is 3,800 cubic inches

That's 62 litres, bigger than other tourers bar a Goldwing I suspect, they are certainly a nice square sided shape to fit bags in. I have the pre formed suit case along with the softer variants from when I had Ultra's

My current big box is a Givi e55 which of course is smaller but still huge although they have better locks

Tour Pak

Yes, 62L - will take two full face helmets, 2 pairs of gloves, a BWM Airflow jacket, lower leg bits off BWM Summer trousers and still closed OK (yesterday)

Panniers are big but rhomboid so you lean stuff over IYSWIM.

I disregard the weight limits - had 12 bottles of wine in Tour Pak no probs. Many Ultras have the rack on top of the Tour Pak for extra capacity (roll bag); nominal max load is 10KG/25Lb and is clearly exceeded many times over.

Enjoy the trip
