SWESGI Tour Trunk Cable Lid Tether for Harley Touring 2014+ — Retractable Cord & Mounting Screws

The SWESGI Tour Trunk Cable Lid Tether is a retrievable lid support designed to hold Harley Touring trunk lids open at a fixed angle for safer, easier access.

This compact replacement tether fits popular aftermarket and OEM-style King, Chopped, and Razor tour trunks used on Harley-Davidson Touring models — including Road King, Road Glide, Street Glide, and Electra Glide Ultra Classic (2014 and later). Built from durable plastic with an auto-retracting cord, the unit restores controlled lid movement and eliminates sudden drops when you open the trunk. The kit ships with two mounting screws for straightforward installation.

How does this tether improve opening and closing my Harley trunk?

The tether limits the trunk lid’s travel so it stays open at a safe, repeatable angle, preventing the lid from slamming shut or overextending. That gives you hands-free access to luggage and tools and reduces wear on the trunk hinges.

• Retractable cord automatically rewinds when the lid closes
• Maintains a fixed open angle for convenient access
• Reduces hinge stress and prevents sudden lid drops

Will this part fit my Harley Touring trunk model?

This tether is made for King, Chopped and Razor-style tour trunks compatible with 2014 and later Harley Touring models such as Road King, Road Glide, Street Glide and Electra Glide Ultra Classic. It’s intended as a direct accessory replacement for trunks that use a single retracting lid tether.

• Designed for King/Chopped/Razor tour trunk styles
• Compatible with 2014+ Harley Touring family models
• Check existing mounting hole spacing to confirm fit before installation

How simple is installation and what’s included?

Installation is quick for someone comfortable with basic tools: align the tether, secure with the supplied screws, and test the lid travel. The package includes one tether and two screws, so you won’t need extra fasteners in most standard trunk setups.

• Comes with one SWESGI retractable trunk tether
• Includes two mounting screws for straightforward attachment
• No special tools required — screwdriver or small drill for pilot holes usually sufficient

What material and durability can I expect?

The housing is molded plastic engineered for outdoor use on motorcycles, combining light weight with resistance to the elements. The internal retracting mechanism is designed for repeated opening cycles, though periodic inspection and lubrication of hinge areas will extend service life.

• Plastic construction for corrosion resistance and low weight
• Retracting rope designed for frequent use
• Simple design makes replacement or future swaps easy

Who is this for: The SWESGI Tour Trunk Cable Lid Tether is ideal for Harley riders who own King, Chopped, or Razor-style tour trunks and need a reliable replacement part for 2014-and-newer Touring models. It’s a practical upgrade for DIY mechanics wanting safer trunk access, for riders restoring a trunk assembly, or for anyone replacing a worn or broken lid tether to prevent lid slams and protect hinge hardware.
