    Do any of you guys know of a good cooler for a large Harley tour pack,(1988 model)? It's about 18"x12"x10" inside. Everything I've found so far is either too large or small. I'm looking for something to take up as much of that space as possible. I'm hoping maybe one of you guys has found something in your travels that fits just right.
    Thanks,
    Snyde

    I've got a cooler that has a hitch stinger on it to slide into my trailer hitch. Hold a 6 pack. There is also one called a cooler caddy that fits into a receiver hitch and you can put a larger cooler on it.
    HOG sells one that is a soft pouch that would fit into a trunk.

    we use the Harley soft cooler it works very good, holds ice all day even in high temps. We care it when ever we go on long trips.

    don't know if it will fit in the saddle bag, just put it on the back seat and tie it down. never thought of trying to put it in the bag. there always full anyway.

    I was just on their Internet site, they have a 30-Can cooler that is 11"H x 13"W x 15"L. 1" too wide, 1" short, but it looks soft sided so it might work fine. Thanks for the tip!

    We have a state park local to us, Stony Brook State Park - Photos, Maps, Information, where we like to take food and drinks and spend the day hiking and swimming, so my tourpack and bags aren't full. That's why I'm looking for some kind of removable cooler for the tourpack. We also have many creeks, like Stony Brook, in the area where we pack up for the day and do the same.
    It's been especially hot this year so we've been swimming a lot more than usual.
    It's such a bitch being retired, so much time, not enough ideas.;)
    Thanks everyone,

    Can't you post a picture and model number, C'mon man.

    I just stop at the local bar bikers hang out at and sit in the air and drink a brewski and usually git something to eat while I take a break.:cussing:
