Hd makes a detachable kit..everything you need is in there.
you will relocate the antenna
the wiring for the lights and radio will roll up and tuck under the seat.
or save a bundle and disconnect and roll up the wiring.
put a towel on the floor & get a Pal.
have the pal hold the tourpak and lid...remove the 4 bolts that hold it to the mount
put tourpak on towel
remove the mount.
takes 30 minutes the first time.
the detachable kit is great if you are on/off regularly.
you'll have to figure out teh antenna and a license plate mount...some of use use a roadking signal bar with plate mount

Following on from Mike's alternative of simply unbolting your tourpak, on my older bike I bought a military style multi-pin socket and plug for the tourpak wiring. I terminated the internal wiring at the socket, which I mounted in the base of the tourpak (front left corner), wired the plug into the tourpak harness, so I literally twist to connect/disconnect. Takes only a few minutes. I don't have a radio, but the aerial should be simple to solve, perhaps mount it permanently.
Having said all that I don't actually remove it very often, now that I can!
