Tour Pack Quick Disconnect Brackets Options?
I have a 97' Electra Glide Classic that I want to add the tour pack quick disconnect brackets to and I have found types out there and I am wondering what the difference is? Looking for a 2 up configuration.
The first rack with a grey background is the most common one that I have seen which I believe uses the "A" rear brackets and HD #53803-06 forward mount brackets.
How does rack with the pink background mount and are there pro's or con' with either style?
Thanks, G.B.

Measure the openings between the two racks. The later one 53803-06 will use the two docking points on the docking station you have. The second (53107-96) one needs an additional set of docking points further toward the front of the bike (53104-97B).
I have all 3 sets of docking points on mine, but I used 53803-06 rack. I think it looks better.

Thanks to all for your info. I think I am going to hold off on the quick disconnect kit right now. I am kind of liking the look with the tour pack removed and the rack staying on the bike. I plan to use the tour pack on a few trips next summer so I don't want to loose the ability to put it back on. Remove Three screws, one electrical connector (it's a Classic, no CB) and the antenna cable and the pack is off in no time. I picked up a HD low seat tonight and it really cleans up the look. I just need to figured out an antenna mount for when the tour pack is off.
Thanks again, G.B.

I have a '95 FLHTC and we used the one on the pink background. We used the late maode rear docking kit with a front kit that was a bolt and the black crommet. We had to shim the kits out a little with stainless washers to make it work. If you like I could send you some pictures. It was an easy fit. The antenna mount we used is the relocated one for the Road Kings that bolts down on the rear of the saddlebag rail on the two bolts that bolt it on.
Hope this helps!!

Another option for the antenna mount is a hidden antenna like:

Get a Y splitter like this:

Plug the splitter into the radio. Attach one side to the hidden antenna. The other to the stock cable feed.
Best of both worlds.

Thanks John for your offer to post some pictures, but I think I am going to run without the quick disconnect kit for now. Right now I am OK with how my bike looks with the stock rack or tour pack mount on it. Especially since I added a clean low height seat that I just picked up. I plan to take a couple trips next year and use the tour pack.
Thanks again, G.B.
