Kuryakyn Grand Pet Palace - 5288

The Kuryakyn Grand Pet Palace (Part #5288) is one of the most thoughtfully designed motorcycle pet carriers on the market, built for riders who refuse to leave their four-legged co-pilot at home. With updated styling, generous interior dimensions, and a suite of pet-focused amenities, this carrier lets you and your furry friend hit the open road together — safely and comfortably. Whether you ride a Harley-Davidson touring bike with a luggage rack or another motorcycle with compatible mounting points, the Grand Pet Palace is engineered to keep your pet secure while giving you peace of mind.

Key Features & Benefits

• 40% More Ventilation & 20% More Internal Space: Compared to previous versions, the updated Grand Pet Palace gives your pet more fresh air and room to settle in — critical for longer rides and warmer weather.
• Four Mesh Windows: Strategically placed mesh windows provide all-around visibility for your pet and allow optimal airflow, reducing heat buildup inside the carrier during summer rides.
• Top Window That Opens: A dedicated top opening lets curious pets pop their head out — a feature that keeps smaller dogs happy and engaged without compromising safety.
• UV-Rated, Weather-Resistant 1200 Denier Textile: The outer shell is built from heavy-duty 1200 denier fabric with UV protection, so it stands up to sun, wind, and light rain on the road.
• Removable Rain Cover Included: When the weather turns, the included rain cover shields your pet from the elements without restricting airflow through the mesh panels.
• Internal Adjustable Leash: Keeps your pet safely tethered inside the carrier while still allowing them freedom of movement — an important safety feature at highway speeds.
• Two Dishes Included: Built-in provisions for food and water dishes mean you can keep your pet fed and hydrated during rest stops without extra packing.
• Removable Stash Pouch: An interior stash pouch gives you a discreet spot for pet treats, waste bags, or small personal items.
• Easy-Clean Removable Foam Cushion: The foam floor cushion pops out for quick cleaning — essential for maintaining hygiene after long trips or unexpected messes.
• Internal Frame & Rigid Bottom: Structural support prevents the carrier from collapsing around your pet and keeps the bag's shape stable during mounting and transit.
• Redesigned Bottle Pocket with MOLLE Attachment Points: External MOLLE-compatible webbing lets you attach additional pouches or gear, and the bottle pocket provides convenient hydration access.
• New Sissy Bar Strap, Multiple D-Rings & Adjustable Straps: A versatile four-point mounting system with sissy bar strap and D-ring anchor points makes securing the carrier straightforward on a variety of motorcycle luggage racks.
• Side-Mount Handles & Removable Carry Strap: Makes transporting the loaded carrier to and from your bike easy — just grab the handle or sling the carry strap over your shoulder.

Fitment

The Kuryakyn Grand Pet Palace is designed as a universal motorcycle pet carrier intended to mount to a luggage rack or sissy bar via its four-point adjustable strap system. It is not bike-specific in the traditional sense — fitment depends on your motorcycle having a compatible rear luggage rack or sissy bar to anchor the D-rings and straps securely. According to Kuryakyn's installation instructions, the carrier mounts using adjustable straps connected to the top D-rings to the luggage rack. It is most commonly used on Harley-Davidson touring models and other cruisers equipped with rear racks, but is not limited to any single platform. Important: Before purchasing, measure your available rack space against the carrier's 18.5" × 13" footprint to confirm a proper fit. A luggage rack or sissy bar mounting point is required — this carrier is not designed to mount without one.

Note: Because this is a pet product, returns cannot be accepted for sanitary reasons once the item has been used. Please verify all dimensions and fitment before ordering.
