Default Ultra Stripper

My wife always uses one week of her vacation days per year to go on a road trip with me. Other than that I'm solo. I have never needed or wanted more than saddlebags for my many solo road trips. I pack light. Don't care for the lowers. The weight loss and look appeals to me. Reminds me of the Road King I had years ago.

I used the H-D Tour Pack Quick Release kit.

OK, does this make you feel any better.

My little passenger. My personal stripper.

It would be better if she were naked.

Me too, certainly got my attention, lol.

Now to the subject, I get you liking the looks, but weight loss of the lowers? Really

Edit, k I read it wrong, your talking about the total weight loss, ok I get that too. Guess I was looking for the stripper and couldn't read strait.

Those lowers weigh about 6 lbs each, so 12 lbs makes some difference. I also like the view from the saddle better. Each to his own. I would have looked for a Road King if my wife was not part of the equation. I rode my '94 Road King on many long trips in all kinds of weather. I tour in a full one piece Aerostitch that provides all the weather/rain protection I need.

I would like to add the heated grips from H-D. Looks like they are a azz whipping to install.

The HD grips you mention are a piece of cake to install. I did mine in under 2hrs total. If you have had your fairing off...you will breeze through it.
