ok, went to the shop this morning on the bike to compare the Road King horseshoe and looked like it will fit. I bought it and when I got home I took the tp off and had to remove the saddle bags to look at everything. Looks like at the forward edge of the bracketry I have to remove the bolt for the upper shock mount, so I'm thinking I might as well get some short airshocks since I'm well into it. Looking at the top of the fender I have two big holes where the chrome grab rail was but no hole for the rear seat mount. Do I need to remove the rear tire to see if I have a nut welded on under the fender? I bought a new Tombstone tailight also with turn signals on and was wondering if the tire will need to come out. I took the tail light lens cover off and didn't see the bolts that hold it on?

I beleive you are correct.
I hate to be repetitive but I've read over this thread about 3 times and I'm still not quiet sure exactly what parts I need for my bike. I want the least visible hardware possible on my rear fender when my tour pac is off. I've been searching for the parts I need to switch my tour pac to a quick release on my 92 FLHTC . Do these look like the parts you guys have been describing? What is the best set-up for my bike?

Ok......I tried the swingarm upside down trick and I cant figure out how to bolt the shocks and the axle adjusters back up to the floating brackets that attach everything to the rear of the swing arm. Can anyone provide some pics and simple directions? Here are pics of what Im thinkin about trying:
Thanks for the help identifying the tour pack parts by the way.....i found some brackets on ebay that have the pucks on them i think
