I've done the whole detach thing. I'll tell you what route i went and where i ended up. You will end up being there as well.
I bought the detach kit, $569.00 list at Boardtracker online for 20% off and free shipping, so $455.00 to my door. The kit comes with everything you need including the saddlebag lights, license plate mount and antenna relocate bracket. You can buy individual pieces but the required parts purchased separate cost more. You need some sort of add on lights for turn signals. You can buy the filler lights that go in between the bags and fender from CD, HD or Kury. Am about 299.99. By the time you add some sort of turn signal setup and a plate mount i think you'll find you spent more than the kit.
With all that said, you will inherently spend more than you think. After you get the tour pack removed, you'll hate the look of the stock seat unless you have a detach backrest. Also if you ride 2up, she'll want one anyway. So now you'll be buying one of those also. If you don't ride 2up and need a backrest ,you're back to hating the look of the stock seat. You will end up buying another, better looking seat.
So I'll tell you where I ended up. Detach kit, then the CD Fillerz with the kits bag lights and a LED taillight. Bright as hell!! I have a detach backrest and street glide seat. Then i got the solo tour pack rack when I tour by myself, which means I needed a solo seat. I'm afraid to add up what's spent.
Here's a few pics: Trunk off w/ the SG seat and bag lights and I layed the license plate back Solo rack with solo seat Stock seat with detach backrest.
And a grandson!!lol
No intention to hijack , how did you get your pics to post ? I am using the garage talk app.
