Default Lovin' this quick-release

Had a quick release put on my RGU. Being able to remove the tour-pack really changes up the bike, and it handles so much better with all of that top-heavy weight off of it. I'm taking it to Daytona this year and wanted to streamline it a bit...

Cool looks clean.

I've ridden three Ultra's / Limited's now for 10 years and would feel lost without a tour pak. Had a Street Glide prior and really never noticed that much difference. Of course most of my riding is two up.

Enjoy

Two-up and distance - absolutely would not leave home without the tour pac. But removing almost 50 lbs while buzzing around the likes of Daytona - center of gravity is greatly lowered and totally noticeable. Way more nimble.

Bike looks really good with or without. Are you gonna ride down and keep TP in hotel room while there?

I have a detachable TP for both bikes and really don't notice much difference myself.

I always felt like the tour pak was a waste. A sissy bar and a luggage rack to me is better. Then just put on a bag with wheels if you need more capacity plus you roll it into the hotel room when you get where you are going.

Some of us have gal pals and wives that like the comfy back & arm rests. With cup holder of course.

"Streamline" a barge, LOL. That's funny right there!

Thanks!
No, I live in Iowa were are still getting unpredictable winter weather in March, so will have to trailer down, but leaving the TP at home.
