detachable tour pack
what is the best way to go about doing a detachable tour pack installation? I have a 2013 electra glide ultra limited. I use my tour pack a lot but would like to take it off on occasion to make bike alittle more sporty.

Joe Dirt, I have one for sale! I have had about 4 months and came off my 2012 Ultra Limited and going to sale. I haven't posted yet, been too lazy to take pictures. If you are interested PM me.

honestly why bother? i did my TP last winter on my SG and did the detachable route. i took it of 1 this summer. honestly it just too convenient having it on.
yes its sportier with out but not worth taking it off all the time.

Did mine today. 2013 Ultra Limited. The actual docking hardware is not to hard to figure out but I have wiring everywhere. The electrical is a PIA. It does look good and the Tourpak comes off and goes back on in 30 seconds.

I had a detachable on my 2005 Classic and the wife had one on her Street Glide. On those bikes it is pretty easy as there is not much electrical to deal with. Going to be a much bigger pain with the Limited, and you will lose radio function unless you come up with an antenna solution. What we found in the end was that the mounts will get loose in time and start to rattle, which drove me crazy. We also found that even when we weren't traveling the tour pac was very handy, so we hardly ever took them off. Cool look, just not worth the hassle.

Another temporary fix is to loosen the bolts on the bike and turn the bushings 90 degrees. I did that until my aluminum bushings showed up.
