1985 GL1200 Interstate, LOVE this bike.
1985 GL1200I tour pack floor has cracked out around all four mounting bolts. I previously repaired with body resin and fibergass mesh but after 5 years or so it has cracked again. I have seen steel plates advertised for Harley tour packs and, after thinking about it, my thought is to use a piece of 13 gauge or so aluminum diamond plate to cut a new floor using the carpet as a pattern. I am thinking about using a large amount of body panel adhesive to glue the aluminum plate to the inside floor of the tour pack and drilling/installing with longer bolts. If this does not seem to be stable enough my next step would be to cut another plate to go between the tourpack and the rack it bolts to, gluing it to the underside of the tour pack with the same body panel adhesive. Has anyone done something like this or done any kind of repair to the cracked floor of a tour pack?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
