Wow! Merry Christmas everyone! I have the factory detachable tour-pack on my 2013 FLHTC and LOVE it! And can not figure out why anyone would not like to have the "choice" to have the extra storage if you desired; OR be sporty. I can put it on or remove and be ready to ride in under 5 minutes. Yes, that includes; removing and re-locating the antenna, the power port in the tour pack, and (this winter mod) rear speakers. Everything plugs in or un-plugs and is hidden in very short order.

I'd love to do this with my Limited as well but I refuse to pay $500 for the HD quick detach kit for this bike. I can find everything separately except for the slotted strut covers. Any idea where you could find those?

Does adding a quick release system make it more prone to be stolen?
Or are there ways to lock it down with the system installed?

I believe there is a type of lock available. I believe Brukus sells them.

Was going to be first thing I added to my new 12 able to do labor my self so would have only had the parts and includeing a seat and STORAGE rack. When adoes up the sporty look was just not worth it. The savings bought a lot of beverage for me and the bike I don't know if this bike is new to you or not but ride 1 month and see how many you stop and first thing you do when you get off is get in the tour pac. Best to you and your decision

I really like having the convenience of the TP but wanted a solo setup. So I went a different way. Legends SLiding TourPak.

One word.....awesome!

I go from the most comfortable solo tourer to two - up in about 20 seconds

With the detachable kit and the harness kit Inwas about $800 all in. Add another $800 for the new Corbin and I'm in for $1600. I'm going to sell the Tourpak and get a razorback or chopped tour pak.

I love the look.
